슬라이고 최고의 사이클링 경로

벤불빈은 다트리 산맥에 있는 독특한 테이블 산으로, 빙하에 의해 형성되었으며 석회암과 셰일로 구성되어 있습니다. 그 실루엣은 전 세계적으로 알아볼 수 있으며 노스 슬라이고의 시각적 하이라이트를 형성합니다.

넓은 Moy 강 하구(estuary)를 따라 펼쳐지는 조용한 강변 루트로, 물과 낮은 조간대(tidal flats)를 탁 트인 시야로 감상할 수 있습니다. 이곳에서는 바람을 피하고 교통량이 적은 환경에서 자전거를 탈 수 있으며, 갈대밭, 작은 만, Ballina 주변 언덕을 조망하는 풍경이 번갈아 나타납니다. 해안이나 마을로 향하는 고요하고 완만하게 구불거리는 연결 구간으로 이상적입니다.

Enniscrone Cliffs Bath is a building built directly on the beach on the promenade in Enniscrone, County Sligo. This white building is rather unusual, resembling a strange castle with towers and battlements. Built in 1850 by the Orme family, it actually served as a thermal bath.

Belleek Wood is a lovely wooded ride into Ballina, from the north west of the river.

At this lovely spot and across the road is the Holy Well. It has a significance with the irish troubles and where the catholics made/built an outdoor church to worship, in a forest.

Carrowmore (Irish: An Cheathrú Mhór, 'the great quarter') is a large group of megalithic monuments. They were built in the 4th millennium BC, during the Neolithic (New Stone Age). There are about thirty surviving tombs from about 80. There may have been more monuments originally, but some fell victim to quarrying and field clearance during the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. The tombs are numbered - a list is provided at the entrance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrowmore

Carrowmere Megalithic Cemetery is one of the largest clusters of megalithic tombs in Ireland. There are the remains of over 35 impressive passage tombs that were constructed over 6,000 years ago. It is worth stepping off the bike and taking a look.

There is a large rectangular pool in front of the cliff baths that fills on each tide. The pool was nicknamed 'The Baby Rock' by mothers of the village that bathed their children in it during the summer months. Nowadays it is known as 'crab pool' for obvious reasons! The long white sand beach in front is a great spot to stop and have a picnic.
