Julianne Mooney visits Sligo: The beauty of Sligo inspired much of the poetry of W.B Yeats and the paintings of his brother Jack. Through their words and paintings, Sligo's verdant rolling hills, sweeping beaches, myriad of lakes and romantic forests have been immortalised. I've visited the county many times and understand why the Yeats brothers loved it so much. In fact, W.B loved it so much that in one of his final poems he detailed exactly where and how he wished to be buried: "Under bare Ben Bulben's head In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid. An ancestor was rector there Long years ago, a church stands near, By the road an ancient cross." (Under Ben Bulben by W.B Yeats) There is something untouched and romantic about Sligo's countryside. I love that it is compact and one minute you can be on a wind-swept beach surfing the Atlantic waves and within a ten-minute drive be trekking up a mountain.
