COUNTY  SLIGO
Coastline: Sligo’s coastline consists of low-lying cliffs and numerous beaches such as Strandhill, Streedagh, Mullaghmore, Inniscrone and Rosses Point. Scenic attractions include Lough Gill, near Sligo town and Lough Arrow. Streedagh in particular offers a fantastic strand with accessible caves. Lough Gill: 5 miles long and 2 miles wide, surrounded on three sides by wooded mountain slopes, and connected to Sligo town by a 2 mile stretch of river. In the lake itself the most prominent islands are the beautifully wooded Cottage Island, with the ruins of an ancient Church, the larger Church Island also with the remains of a Church, and the tiny island of Innisfree. Drumcliffe bay lies north of Rosses Point, an area of fine sandy beaches. Nearby are the Dartry Mountains, where the most prominent summits are Truskmore (2113 feet), Benbulben (1730 feet) and King's Mountain (1527 feet).

OUTLYING AREAS
Rivers and Lakes: Leitrim is bisected by Lough Allen, the first lake on the Shannon. Lough Gill and Glencar Waterfall are on the border with Sligo. Lough Melvin is located in the north of the county.Leitrim is one of Ireland's most sparsely populated and hence most unspoilt counties. Dominated by water whether in the form of the might River Shannon, the stunning Lough Allen or the spectacular Glencar Waterfall that inspired Ireland's greatest poet, Leitrim's quiet waterways and unmarred beauty will delight the most jaded of visitors. One of the last bastions of solitude Leitrim is a place to get away from it all. Through the maze of waterways and lakes it is possible to lose yourself in the rivers of the county or in the forests and mountains that provide such wonderful scenery
