Ben Bulben Forest Walk - Sligo Walks
Ben Bulben Forest Walk (or Gortarowey looped walk, as it’s sometimes known locally) is located in Yeats Country in County Sligo, along the base of Ireland’s most iconic mountain, Ben Bulben.
The walk is located conveniently just off the main N15 national route between Sligo and Donegal, 8km north of Sligo town. A clearly marked signpost along this route guides motorists towards the car park, located 400m from the main road. From here, a series of finger post signs guides the walker along a choice of looped walks, ranging in distance from 3km-6km and with slight differences in levels of difficulty. However, all of the walks are suitable for those with even a moderate level of fitness and are particularly suitable for families, individuals and walking clubs and groups.
A slightly elevated ascent along the gravel path towards the mountain itself is the advised route to take to take full advantage of the magnificent views of Ben Bulben, Ireland’s best known table mountain. Part of the Dartry mountain range, Ben Bulben was formed during the ice age by massive glaciers segmenting the landscape, its striking shape almost unique among Irish mountains.
The mountain track evens out as the mountain comes into view. Those who continue along the main path will retain spectacular views of the mountain to their right, while forestry lines the route to the left of the path. Then the route dips into a meandering looped path under the canopy of the forest, brightening at the furthest point to reveal the mountain at its closest point, almost vertically towering over the path.
Views across the Atlantic over Donegal Bay towards Sliabh Liag, Ireland’s highest sea cliffs, become visible, before the walkers turn for home, where the path forks, providing the walker with a choice of routes on the homeward journey. Several park benches also populate the path, enabling the walker to take on refreshments, and to take in the spectacular views along the route.
Those choosing the longer route are rewarded with a raised stone cashel or keep from medieval times and is strategically situated the commanding views over the surrounding landscape. A mapboard within the cashel highlights the significant landmarks before your eyes and as you continue/return to the car park (15mins) you pass through interesting native woodland.

AURORA BOREALIS St Patrick day Ireland-17-3-2015
all photos talking at Easky Castle co sligo
The Aurora is an incredible light show caused by collisions between electrically charged particles released from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere and collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. The lights are seen around the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres.
Auroras that occur in the northern hemisphere are called ‘Aurora Borealis’ or ‘northern lights’ and auroras that occur in the southern hempishere are called ‘Aurora Australis’ or ‘southern lights’.
Both Aurora’s can be seen in the northern or southern hemisphere, in an irregularly shaped oval centred over each magnetic pole. Scientists have learned that in most instances northern and southern auroras are mirror-like images that occur at the same time, with similar shapes and colours. Auroral displays can appear in many vivid colours, although green is the most common. Colours such as red, yellow, green, blue and violet are also seen occasionally. The auroras can appear in many forms, from small patches of light that appear out of nowhere to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains or shooting rays that light up the sky with an incredible glow.

Classiebawn Castle & Benbulbin Mountain Co. Sligo Republic of Ireland.
I didn't fly too close to the castle to respect the privacy of the people who are living in it. Castle & Benbulbin Mountain Co. Sligo Republic of Ireland Classiebawn Castle is a country house built for The 3rd Viscount Palmerston (1784–1865) on what was formerly a 10,000-acre (4,000 ha) estate on the Mullaghmore peninsula near the village of Cliffoney, County Sligo, in the Republic of Ireland.[1] The current castle was largely built in the late 19th century.
It was designed in the Baronial style by J. Rawson Carrol, a Dublin-based architect, and is constructed from a yellow-brown sandstone brought by sea from County Donegal. It comprises a gabled range with a central tower topped by a conical roofed turret.
The land, which once belonged to the O'Connor Sligo family, was confiscated by the English Parliament to compensate the people who put down an Irish rebellion. Around 10,000 acres (4,000 ha) of land on which Classiebawn now stands was granted to Sir John Temple (1600-1677), Master of the Rolls in Ireland.
The property passed down to The 3rd Viscount Palmerston, the statesman who served as both British Prime Minister and British Foreign Secretary. It was this Lord Palmerston who commissioned the building of the current Classiebawn Castle and the harbour at Mullaghmore. The house was not complete on his death in 1865, but was completed in 1874 by his stepson and successor, The Rt. Hon. William Cowper-Temple, P.C., M.P. (later created The 1st Baron Mount Temple). The latter died childless in 1888 and the estate passed to his nephew, The Hon. Evelyn Ashley, second surviving son of The 7th Earl of Shaftesbury. Evelyn Ashley spent some time there each year and on his death in 1907 was succeeded by his only son, Wilfrid Ashley (later created Baron Mount Temple in a new creation). He also spent his summers at the castle with his daughters Edwina, the future Countess Mountbatten, and Mary (1906-1986), who was Baroness Delamere from 1944 until 1955 as the second wife (of three) of The 4th Baron Delamere.
Mountbatten years.
In 1916, the house was cleared and remained empty until 1950. It was inherited by The Rt. Hon. Edwina, Countess Mountbatten of Burma (when she was still officially styled as Lady Louis Mountbatten), in July 1939 who, with her husband Admiral of the Fleet The 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, made a number of improvements, installing electricity and a mains water supply.[3] After his wife's death in February 1960, Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, spent his summers there until his death when his boat was blown up off the coast of Mullaghmore by the IRA in August 1979.
The castle and surrounding lands are now owned by the estate of Hugh Tunney (1928-2011), a deceased businessman from Trillick in County Tyrone, who bought the castle and 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) of surrounding estate in 1991 after having leased it for many years Benbulbin Mountain Benbulbin Mountain is known as County Sligo’s 'Table Mountain' and is part of the Dartry Mountains. Benbulben was formed as a result of the different responses to erosion of the limestone and shale of which the mountain is formed. A hard and resistant limestone forms the upper cliffs and precipices. Benbulben was formed during the Ice age, when large parts of the earth were under glaciers. It was originally merely a large ridge, however the moving glaciers cut into the earth, leaving a distinct formation, now called Benbulben.
The steeper sides of Benbulben are composed of large amounts of Dartry limestone on top of smaller amounts of Glencar limestone. The smoother sides are composed of Benbulben shale. These rocks formed in the area approximately 320 million years ago. Barytes was mined at Glencarbury on the Benbulben range between 1894 and 1979.
many mountain ranges in Ireland during World War II, planes crashed in the Dartry mountains close to Benbulbin. On 9th December 1943, a US Fortress plane crashed killing 3 but where locals residents saved 7 men off the mountain. On 21 March 1941 an RAF flying boat also crashed in a similar location but all 9 died in the crash..
Irish legends
Benbulbin is the setting of several Irish legends. It is said to be one of the hunting grounds of the Fianna, a band of warriors who are said to have lived in the 3rd century. McCool is also said to have found his long-lost son Oisín at this location. The mountain is said to be Diarmuid and Gráinne's resting place.
