The story

At the foot of the Ox Mountains on the road south from Sligo, and a town that holds one of the best-known weeks of traditional music in the west every summer.

Worth seeing nearby
  • Carrowkeel passage tombs · Fourteen Neolithic tombs on the Bricklieve ridges, one aligned so the midsummer sunset shines down its passage — the mirror of Newgrange, with no crowds.

All of these are pinned on the Hidden Ireland map.
