Sligo Airport is in the northwest of Ireland, serving a number of destinations including the town of Sligo itself. W.B. Yeats lived in Sligo as a child and the town certainly has a poetic air; the mountain peaks of Benbulben and Knocknarea glower over the town, which is immediately east of the dramatic west coast of Ireland. The windswept beaches and rugged coastline are magnificent, making car hire from Sligo Airport a popular choice.
Hiring a car from Sligo Airport presents you with the opportunity to visit sights like the Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery, whilst at the same time enjoying local landmarks like Sligo Abbey.
Get a taste of Sligo's history at places like Sligo Abbey, before making the short drive to Lissadell House, which incidentally was a favourite of W.B.Yeats. Fans of the poet may wish to visit his grave at Drumcliff Cemetery, which is on the way to Lissadell House via the N15. If you're hiring a car from Sligo Airport, why not take a drive around the mountain scenery of Benbulben, or perhaps head for the coast at Rosses Point.
Rent a car from Sligo Airport and Glencar Lake and its enchanting waterfall are just 30 minutes away, but if it's scenic drives you're after, the Lough Gill Drive is one of the best in Ireland.
