Slieve League on Postcard

"You will need a head for heights to visit Slieve League; at 600 meters (2,000 feet), these are the fifth-tallest sea cliffs in Europe. What makes them so special is that they are also some of the most accessible ones. Nearly three times higher than the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, they offer gasp-worthy views of the swirling waters of the Atlantic Ocean. On a clear day you can see as far as County Sligo or the coast of County Mayo. Only experienced walkers should tackle One Man’s Pass, a narrow trail that reaches the highest point, but there is a network of easier trails for visitors of any ability to enjoy."

OMG. What a place. Unbelievable. A must see. The shuttle bus is brilliant as well. The walk is lovely though if it's a nice day. A definite bucket list experience.

Great hike with gorgeous views over the Atlantic. Would advise shuttle bus from the centre as the cliff side roads are very windy with lots of walkers. Shuttle bus €6 for adults and €4 for children.

The drive here was pretty great. There is a small charge for parking. The walk from the car park is easy and worth walking. The views are simply amazing. If you have to decide between here and Cliffs of Moher, this is the place to go. Far less people, much less money and a better experience all around.

Worth the drive and the walk. The views were stunning! After visiting the Cliffs of Moher and the Kerry Cliffs; the Slieve League stood apart as the most scenic and non-commercial of all! We also loved the coffee and fresh lobster rolls being served at the viewing point! Definitely added to the experience!

Breathtaking views from the top! Went up on a cloudy day but didn’t diminish the experience, could say we were blown away. Had a little walkway which you can take if you want. €5 to park at the bottom carpark and either bus or walk up (about 20mins) or €10 to go to the top carpark. Well worth the trip

My trip to the Slieve League Cliffs in Ireland was an unforgettable adventure! The towering cliffs, among the highest in Europe, offered breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean that left me in awe. The hike to the top was challenging, with steep paths and rugged terrain, but it was well worth the effort. Proper hiking gear, including sturdy boots, a weatherproof jacket, and a good backpack, was essential to navigate the sometimes unpredictable Irish weather. The sense of accomplishment upon reaching the summit was unparalleled, and the panoramic vistas were simply stunning. The pristine natural beauty and the sheer majesty of the cliffs made this trip an extraordinary experience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a blend of adventure and serene beauty.

A definite visit if in or around Donegal.. the view of the Atlantic and the cliffs together are a breathtaking visual. The walk from the car park is around 2km and difficult level is medium. The first hill was the steeper one. Recommend taking the bus shuttle from the visitor centre for anyone not a fan of walking uphills.. a must visit place and worth the walk..
