About

Hazelwood Demesne is just 5 Kilometres from Sligo and located at a place known as Half Moon Bay on the shore of Lough Gill. On Rosses Point in the North West of Sligo is a very picturesque village which is home to Rosses Point Championship Golf Course and Rosses Point Yacht and Sailing Club.The Sligo Bay Lifeboat Station. It has two beautiful beaches with great scenic views of Coney Island and Knocknarea.

Drumcliffe is one of Ireland’s most beautiful and historic locations. The site of St. Columba’s, Church the Cross of Columcille the Round Tower and the final resting place of W B Yeats (1865-1939) whose great-grandfather was rector here in the early years of the nineteenth century are all in this area.

Next we head for Streedagh Point a small village in the north west of Sligo where the Spanish Armada floundered in 1588. Streedagh Strand is an impressive 3 kilometre long sandy beach located on the north western shore of a sandbar linking Streedagh Point to an area known as Connor’s Island.

On leaving we head north to Mullaghmore, described as the Seaside Jewel in Sligo’s crown passing through Grange, Moneygold,and turning left in Cliffoney. As we drive towards Mullaghmore we see on our left Classiebawn Castle, the holiday home of the late Lord Mountbatten.

We drive back to Cliffoney and head to Creevekeel Court Tomb which is reputed to have been in existence as far back as 4,000 BC. This was a place of ceremony and worship of the Christians in olden times.

The first thing we see is a picnic area and the remains of an old Barytes Mill. This valley is guarded by three mountains, Tievebaun Truskmore on the east-side and Benwisken to the west. The drive is a 10-kilometre loop along single lane roads with spectacular views in the dramatic and wild Dartry Mountains. Early on in the loop we encounter the secret of the Magic Hill.

Now we are near the end of the loop we turn left at Ballintrillick and head for Cliffoney where we turn left again and head south on N15 passing through Moneypoint. We turn left again near Drumcliffe for Glencar Lake and Waterfall.

On our way back to Sligo we visit the Holy Well at Tobernault which is an age old pilgrimage site. In olden times the Druids would come and celebrate mass here when people were forbidden to congregate. From here we head back to your accommodation or chosen drop off point..
