Whether you’re landing at Dublin Airport or leaving from an address in Dublin City, your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall or at your door and takes you all the way northwest to Sligo. The journey runs two to three hours through the Irish countryside, and the vehicle is yours for the duration - no other passengers, no shared stops.
If you’re travelling with golf bags, the vehicle takes up to 4 passengers in that configuration. For standard luggage, you can fit up to 7. Need the return journey covered too? Book the same transfer for your departure date and let the operator know your pick-up time and location when you do.
Meeting point: Arrivals hall at Dublin Airport, or your Dublin City address.
Sligo town is compact and very walkable once you arrive. The Model arts centre on The Mall has a strong programme and one of the best collections of Sean Scully work in Ireland, worth a look even if you’re not a gallery person. The town sits at the confluence of the Garavogue River and Lough Gill, and a walk along the riverbank gets you away from traffic quickly.
W.B. Yeats is everywhere in Sligo and it’s not just tourism marketing. He grew up here and returned often - his grave is in the churchyard at Drumcliff, beneath the mountain of Ben Bulben, about 8 kilometres north of town. The headstone carries his own inscription. It’s a short stop and the setting is genuinely striking, particularly when the cloud is low on the mountain.
Strandhill beach is 8 kilometres from the town centre and one of the better surf spots on the west coast. If you’re not surfing, Shells Cafe just behind the beach is the kind of place you’d drive back for - good food, proper coffee, and usually busy on weekend mornings for good reason. Strandhill also has a seaweed bath house if you want to do something very specifically Irish after a journey.
Carrowmore megalithic cemetery is worth an afternoon. It’s one of the largest concentrations of prehistoric monuments in Ireland, with passage tombs and stone circles spread across a wide open site just west of Sligo town. It predates Newgrange and the scale of it is only clear when you’re walking through it. Entry is very affordable and it’s rarely crowded.
