Sit Back And Relax: Explore Sligo, Ireland In A Car Hire
As the poet WB Yeats said, "The place that has really influenced my life most is Sligo."
The remains of WB Yeats rested beneath the beautiful Benbulben Mountain in Sligo where he got his inspiration for his poetry. Benbulben Mountain, 5miles from the town of sligo, and other more landscape in Sligo is to love for.
In the west part of Ireland in the province of Connacht, a scenic county-Sligo-- holds the body of a well-known poet.
For water-lover traveler, you'll love Sligo because it is truly blessed with serene lakes and wonderful beaches on the edge of Atlantic Ocean. Due to its connection to the big ocean, more marine species are seen in the beaches which attract more tourists.
In Strandhill, only 7km from the town of Sligo, a small airport which receives flights coming from Dublin and Manchester while Ireland West Airport Knock, just over the county border of Mayo, caters international flights.
As you arrive from the Sligo airport be sure to look at different means of transportation outside the airfield. Town buses, car hire Sligo airport, train, and taxi are your options of traveling in the county.
Town buses which is provided by Bus Eireann that has two route station-town centre and western town service-operates in the county of Sligo. The destinations of the buses are Donegal, Derry, Dublin, Limerick, and Galway.
However, you are lucky if prior to your arrival, you had booked for car hire Sligo because traveling along the roads of Sligo will be easy but if you decided to rent after your arrival, it wouldn't be a problem also since they are very easy to contact to.
Some car rental Ireland companies have online website and cost cheap to attract more costumers so get advantage of there contact details there and book while at the comfort of your hotel.
Train, on the other hand, cost around 25.50 to 35 for single ticket. Eight trains run daily from Dublin station to Sligo.
The creepy Carrowkeel Passage Tomb cemetery is located at the slope of Bricklieve Mountain- 20 miles south of the town on Sligo- is a collection of ancient grave that is not that easy to visit but in the name of exploring the scenery and past, it is a nice place to visit.
The grave is older than the pyramids in Egypt so visiting the area would be like a blast from the past. Majestic Island of Coney is for those travelers who enjoy beaches and island hopping. Some tourist uses their car to cross the strand of the island.
However, you can only do that kind of adventure when the tide is out because a lot of accidents occur due to that.
Yearly, many travelers and even locals got stuck in the sand due to the instable tide times. It is advisable to check with the locals who have further knowledge of the changes on the sea about the tide times.
Adventure, relaxation, and having a good time are what the county of Sligo brings to every tourist and even the locals of the town. Be one of those happy people and explore the world hidden in Sligo, Ireland.
