The Dartry Mountains in Sligo

The Dartry Mountains are a range in the north-west of Ireland, mainly on the border of County Sligo and County Leitrim. They take their name from the tribe and kingdom which once dominated here: the Dartraige.

The range is a large dissected limestone plateau with several named peaks such as Benbulbin, Benwhiskin and Truskmore. Glaciation has carved the distinctive shapes of this mountain range.
