Benbulbin

Benbulbin is a remarkable mountain of 1,726 feet in the Darley Mountains of County Sligo. It is in form a vast limestone formation rising almost sheer from its foot, looking out to the county's Atlantic coast.

The Belbulbin appears in the poetry of W B Yeats, providing the title to one of his poems, and this area is often labelled "Yeats Country", as the landscape which inspired him. (Read more)
