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"
