Imagine discovering ancient megalithic tombs that were built by early Irish farmers here thousands of years ago. A lot of these sites are in some of the most scenic areas of the coast and along Sligo’s Wild Atlantic Way and in the mountains of Sligo.  You will find yourself in a very peaceful place on our trails while also finding out about how these people lived long ago. You will hear the old stories and local folklore associated with the place and you will be fully informed of archaeological excavations that took place in the past which is simply fascinating. You cannot find this information anywhere else and that is why you have Auriel with you.

Auriel strongly recommends that you spend more than one day in Sligo.  Most people who visit here and come out on a trail with Seatrails say they wished they had more time and some of them have come back years later! They may have a very specific reason for visiting Sligo initially and come back many times or they may be coming here for the first time after many years of waiting or even a lifetime.  This could be related to tracing their roots or seeking genealogical records for example and Auriel loves to help with this as much as possible.

Sligo is quieter than other parts of Ireland such as Kilkenny, Dublin, Galway or Kerry, but it is a very special place with a special energy, and it will amaze you. You don’t have to travel far away from Sligo Town to see some amazing sites either so contact us with your query. Looking forward to hearing from you!

2 Days Hiking & Walking

Met up with Auriel for a days hiking up to the Carrowkeel Megalithic Tombs. Had an absolutely fantastic day, really enjoyed her company and the way she gave very informative history talks along the way. I enjoyed it so much I booked on for a second day’s walk out at Streedagh beach. Again, she explained all about the history of the Spanish Armada, the shipwrecks, the ecology, the formation of the mountains, …. I guess the fact she’s trained in Archaeology & Geography and a Masters Degree in Maritime Archaeology and fifteen years experience is a major help! Thanks so much Auriel, till next time.
