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 i
n 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.
