Slieve League

Slieve League (also: Sliabh Liag) is a mountain located in County Donegal on the Atlantic coast. Towering at an impressive 1,972 feet (609m), Slieve League is home to the highest sea cliffs in Europe. The cliffs are nowhere near as famous as the Cliffs of Moher but are over three times as tall.

Getting to Slieve League is a journey itself. You will follow a narrow road as it winds its way up the mountainside and there are a few one-lane road stretches situated on a cliff that get your adrenaline pumping and you just hope someone isn't coming down. Parking at Slieve League is also tricky. There are two car lots, one at the Slieve League Cliffs Centre about 1.5km from the main viewing area and one at the main viewing area. The main viewing area parking lot is very small and many of the spots are occupied by tour buses but if you get lucky you can park there. Otherwise you will have to backtrack to the first lot and walk the 1.5km up the road, which isn't the worst thing as there are photogenic sheep hanging out all along the road!

Once you make it to the top lot follow the trail that branches from it and begin taking in the panoramic view of the sea cliffs. There is a hiking trail called One Man's Path that will take you all the way to the highest point on Slieve League but it's not advised to hike in misty weather or when the path is muddy.
