About Drumcliff
Drumcliff is a historic rural village north of Sligo town, set beneath the distinctive outline of Benbulben and close to the Atlantic coast. It has a peaceful, community-minded character, with scattered homes, farmland and scenic countryside rather than a dense urban centre. The village is best known for Drumcliff churchyard, the grave of poet W.B. Yeats and its round tower, while the surrounding landscape provides excellent walking, cycling and photography opportunities. Families have access to local primary-school provision, with further secondary schools and services available in Sligo town and nearby Grange. Bus services and the N15 make commuting into Sligo straightforward, while Donegal and north-west destinations are also accessible by road; rail connections are available from Sligo Mac Diarmada station. Everyday shopping and larger retail choices are concentrated in Sligo, although nearby cafés, pubs and visitor-oriented businesses provide places to stop locally. The Benbulben Centre / Branley’s Yard is a recognisable nearby amenity, and Rosses Point, Strandhill, Glencar and the wider north Sligo area add beaches, walking routes, golf and outdoor leisure within easy reach.
