HISTORICAL
SITES &
PLACES OF INTEREST
DRUMCLIFFE
& WB YEATS GRAVE
Probably North Sligo's most famous landmark, the Grave of William
Butler Yeats. Although Yeats' died in
France in 1939, his wish to be buried in Drumcliffe 'Under Bare
Ben Bulben's head' was not realised until 1948. His grave can
now be found in the small churchyard at Drumcliffe (8 miles
from Mullaghmore), where his grandfather was once a rector.
"Cast a cold eye on life, on death, horseman pass by"
LISADELL HOUSE
Lisadell House, a Grecian revival mansion, situated in North
Sligo, (10 minutes from Mullaghmore) was built in the 1830's.
It was once home to the Gore-Booth family. The artic explorer,
Henry Goore-Booth was born in the house in 1843, as were his
daughters, Eva and Constance. Constance, a political activist,
married a Polish Count to become Countess Markievicz. She played
a leading role in the 1916 Rising, escaping execution only because
she was a woman. Eva and Constance were friends of W B Yeats,
who spent much time in Lisadell House, writing poetry. Eva too
was a poet. Lisadell House is the only stately home in Sligo,
which is open to the public. "The light of evening, Lissadell,
Great windows open to the south, Two girls in silk kimonos,
both Beautiful, one a gazelle". Tel: 071 9163150
INISHMURRAY ISLAND
Boat trips (arranged through Beach
Hotel) depart daily during peak season from Mullaghmore
to this 225 acre island 14 miles away.

Inishmurray Island was home to 102
people until they left for the mainland in 1948. It
is now un-inhabited, except for the fantastic plant
and bird life. Inishmurray, meaning the island of 'Mulreach'
(who was the first bishop of Killala and founder of
the Island's first Christian Monastery), has many ancient
remains of houses, churches and monuments.
