Slieve League is known for being one of the highest cliffs in Europe. It is truly an impressive landscape. The trail provides an excellent opportunity for taking pictures and enjoying the views. The wind does pick up the higher you go though. We drove the narrow road to the top of the cliff, which is quite intimidating at first. If you would rather not go on the trail, you can still enjoy the view from the observation deck. While I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't very commercialized and free, be aware that there are no facilities here (i.e restrooms). I imagine this will soon change as there was construction work near the cliffs and they may start charging (as they do at the Cliffs of Moher.) I highly recommend taking a trip to this natural beauty.
Drove to the top car park to find wonderful views of the cliffs. Walked as far as the second cairn before loosing our nerve in the high winds and low cloud cover. We'll definitely go back on a clear day and walk along the whole way. Trek improvements are well underway.
It was my 3rd visit. Probably the last one for free, because there are some constriction works now. Looks like a visitor centre and parking. Views are breath taking. Remember to watch out for sheep’s running across the road all the time. Good view point. Great photo opportunity area. Worth to visit.
I climbed up the back of Slieve League which is the way to go as it takes you right up to the top and the view is simply breathtaking all the way up. A fab day out for family, friends or anyone. You will not be disappointed. Weather conditions need to be checked though as mist can descend rapidly I was told.
Loved this place, lovely walks and stunning views. Best on a clear day but not necessary. Highly recommend a visit.
'Adventures in County Donegal'This past March 2014, I finally decided it was now or (maybe) never, and headed up to Co. Donegal, to tackle the Slieve League Cliffs. The drive itself was incredible, the changing landscape through Mayo & Sligo's, Ox Mountains, Benbulben, the Dartry Mountains, through Lietrim, into Donegal, the drive along the coastline, was stunning.I arrived in the Kilcar area, in the early afternoon, exploring on foot the coastal area of Kilcar, the lovely Village of Kilcar, a visit to Donegal Yarns/ Studio Donegal, and ended up at the most delightful tea shoppe, Mocklers, for a delicious supper.Early the next morning, (thank goodness I carry packets of oatmeal w/me) I headed out to Muckross Point, Beautiful views, very cold, windy, icy bits, snow, and, a rainbow, what more could one ask for.I then drove back to the town of Killybegs, (about a 20 min's) headed to SuperValu, for picnic supplies, from there I went into town, parking just in time as a snow squall came through, covering roads, sidewalks & vehicles, another tea break till I could drive back to the Kilcar area. I returned to the accommodation, added another layer of clothing, picked up a few items & headed to Carrick, another delightful village, which, I drove up the R263, exploring the surrounding area of Carrick.Before heading to the Cliffs, I stopped in at Ti Linn, Slieve League Cultural Center, (a Tripadvisor recommendation) hoping Paddy would be there (At this point, I was in need of reassurance, I was somewhat apprehensive on taking on Slieve League Cliffs, not sure what to expect). Paddy & his wife, Siobhan, were very encouraging, (while I sipped a cup of tea) Paddy patiently explained I would not be needing the repelling equipment, helmet & safety harness.BTW, Ti Linn Cafe & Shop, lovely looking goodies, photographs of the Cliffs & surrounding area & hand crafted items.Up the road I headed, parked the vehicle, and immediately, ducked back in, to put on another layer, I pulled my alpaca wide headband around my neck, and tugged my alwero cap, down tight on my head, I stuffed my water bottle in one pocket, snack bar in the other, and pulled on my gloves. A number of vehicles drove up, some headed for the gate, others parked, I spoke w/5 young adults, who were from Austria & Switzerland, (studying in Dublin) they headed up the mountain path on foot. I slowly made my way up the path keeping an eye on the sheep along the path, when the two young male students, came huffing down, telling me how exhausting the walk was, they needed their vehicle to p/u their three friends. At this point, I asked the two students, if they had room in their vehicle to include me, which, they said yes, and, it's exactly what I did, I shared a ride to the top, (six of us!) in their vehicle.The Cliffs were majestic, the changing colors from the sun & clouds passing above, was breathtakingly beautiful, the views toward the Atlantic Ocean & water below, were absolutely amazing, you lose track of time, which, possibly the altitude plays a role. There is a observation deck, w/railing so one can safely look out over the area, there are picnic tables & benches available, a wonderful path snaking up from the observation area, once again, more incredibly brilliant scenery looking West out to the Atlantic Ocean. As I walked down the road on foot, a couple offered me a ride back to my vehicle, which, I gladly accepted. I stopped in at Ti Linn's, to thank Paddy & Siobhan, for their support, and headed to Mocklers Tea Shoppe, Kilcar, for a absolutely scrumptious afternoon tea.
We took the very narrow road to the car park while they were having a vintage sports car rally. The car park was packed. A lonely left hand drive 1946 Hudson was parked at the bottom, knowing it was far too narrow for him to get up.We were there another time (good place to visit now and then) when the wind was absolutely howling. One other German couple was there and my wife and his wife were intent on climbing. There must have been a standing 60 mph wind and I had to clutch the stone steps just to hold on. Us two guys chickened out and waited in the car park while the wild women climbed the wild cliff trail in the wild wind.Great place with the Atlantic breaking far down at your feet. Not too crowded usually. Well worth it.
Access via car to top of cliffs although you can park at car park on bottom and walk up.Views were magnificent of Atlantic and cliffs with path leading on up to top if brave enough to venture.Note ensure you wear warm clothing as there is not much shelter at summit.
Incredible. Amazing. Beautiful. Couldn't say enough about the cliffs at slieve league. The drive up there is hairy enough but well worth it. The views are incredible. It isn't commercialised like the cliffs of moher but are equally impressive. Bring your coats and hats. It is always windy!! There is a lovely little coffee shop too on the way back down which is worth dropping into for a nice cuppa and a bun to warm you up afterwards.
Windy place but amazing view and romantic place. A Perfect stop for incredibles pictures. Not far from nice restaurants and tipical villages.
We were staying in Killybegs so the journey to the cliffs took less than 30 minutes. The car park is being done up, but we drove past it along the narrow road up to the car park where the cliffs are visible. It would take forever to walk along the road so don't be afraid to drive up.It was really stormy and the winds were gale force strength. Sea mist was coming up to the car park and reaching the car. Because of the weather we couldn't walk up to the summit, the viewing platform was far enough! But its a magnificent area of scenery along the wild atlantic way.
This place was fantastic. The cliffs here are said to be 3 times higher than the more famous cliffs of Mohr. I took a short hike up the hill and took several pictures...This was defiantly one of the prettiest places in Ireland...and much more remote.
On our return trip to Slieve League, we had poor weather but enjoyed the trip. Improvements are underway on the road in to the site and the pathway up the mountain. Only able to get 1/3 of the way up because of low clouds but still a wonderful visit. Trek up the hill is challenging.
There are so many amazing and spectacular sites in the north-west Irish county of Donegal that it's difficult to pick out one above the rest. And actually there is no need to. But in saying that a visit to Donegal without a trip to the soaring cliffs of Slieve League is like fish without chips. You can pretty much drive right there so there is no excuse - the road up can be a little hairy so don't look down is the best advice. This is the Irish coastline at its rugged, windswept and spectacular best.
Not a difficult climb to the cliff tops. Views are breathtaking. A new parking lot and possible visitory center? is being built. Will be easier to park in the future since this natural wonder is finally being discovered. New and updated trails make for easier access for all.
