A Cliff at Slieve League
I wasn’t expecting to be going to Slieve League that day. I was intending to go to a totally different place but my trip was hijacked by my friends. I don’t mind it since they brought me to some places which I haven’t visited before. Our next stop is Slieve League, billed as one of Europe’s highest sea cliffs. I have been to the Slieve League before and it is actually one of the first places I have visited when I first came to Ireland. It is considered one of the signature sights here in county Donegal. It is part of the Wild Atlantic Way, a tourist route which bring visitors from the north to the south following Ireland’s Atlantic coast.
There’s A Fair Bit of Walking from the Main Entrance
People usually enter Slieve League by car. This is usually coming from the village of Teelin. One first encounters a car park, which may lead people to believe that this was the place and leave the car. Sure, people can choose to hike it and I think it would have been a wonderful experience but it is still a fair walk from the first car park to the next one. There is a gate which has to be manually opened and closed. I’m not too sure why there is such a setup here but usually they do this to keep animals from getting in or out.
