Slieve League Cliffs - County Donegal - Ireland
Slieve League - Cliffs of Ireland - It was snowing this day we climbed to the top as well. We also made a hazardous trek to an old Napoleonic watch tower on the end of Carrigan Head. ENJOY!
Slieve League, sometimes Slieve Leage or Slieve Liag in Irish Sliabh Liag, is a mountain on the Atlantic coast of County Donegal, Ireland. At 601 metres (1,972 ft), it has some of the highest sea cliffs on the island of Ireland. Although less famous than the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Slieve League's cliffs reach almost three times higher.
The Belfast naturalist Robert Lloyd Praeger wrote in 1939:
A tall mountain of nearly 2000 feet, precipitous on its northern side, has been devoured by the sea till the southern face forms a precipice likewise, descending on this side right into the Atlantic from the long knife-edge which forms the summit. The traverse of this ridge, the One Man's Path, is one of the most remarkable walks to be found in Ireland - not actually dangerous, but needing a good head and careful progress on a stormy day....The northern precipice, which drops 1500 feet into the coomb surrounding the Little Lough Agh, harbours the majority of the alpine plants of Slieve League, the most varied group of alpines to be found anywhere in Donegal.
Slieve League is often photographed from a viewpoint known as Bunglass. It can be reached by means of a narrow road that departs from Teelin. The final few kilometers of this route is built along a precipice and includes several places where it turns at the crest of a rise.
If you go visit Ireland THIS IS A MUST SEE.

We didn't walk all the way up but here are the views from around Bunglass point on the way to Slieve League mountain.
A truly amazing place. I would have liked to fly the drone here but it was extremely windy and there were hundreds of people there, so I decided it wasn't a good idea !
SLIABH LIAG (Slieve League) CLIFFS - Shanbally, Co. Donegal, Ireland
Sliabh Liag Cliffs, Europe’s highest cliffs are situated on the south west coast of County Donegal, are said to be the one of the highest and finest marine cliffs in Europe. To fully enjoy the spectacle of Sliabh Liag it is best to leave your car at the car park and walk the few miles to the cliffs so as not to miss the exciting scenery of the area. Unless of course you are lazy like us and drive to the summit.
There are terrific views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Sligo Mountains and Donegal Bay as you walk towards the terrifyingly high top of Sliabh Liag, where the cliff face of Bunglas rises over 600m above the raging ocean. Experienced walkers only should venture beyond the viewing point onto One Man's Pass which loops around onto the Pilgrim's Path.
This is a sacred mountain, for over a thousand years there was a Christian pilgrimage, no doubt Sliabh Liag was a sacred mountain before the Christians arrived here. You should remember this when visiting, so please do not disturb these monuments of Irish cultural heritage.

Slieve League sea cliffs and Giant's Chair and Table stacks, Bunglass Point, Co. Donegal, Ireland.
The Slieve League (Irish: Sliabh Liag) cliffs are located on the coast of County Donegal. With a maximum height of 601 metres, the Slieve League are the island of Ireland's highest sea cliffs (the highest sea cliff of all Ireland is Croaghaun with 668 m, on Achill Island, County Mayo).
The view of the Slieve League cliffs at Bunglass Point is absolutely wonderful. The two sea stacks in front of the cliffs are called the Giant's Chair and Table because of their shape and dimensions.
