Breathe in the salty sea air and take in the panorama of blue sky and ocean melting together: up here it’s as if you’re walking among the clouds. Look down, and you’ll see the Atlantic Ocean swirling and crashing onto the rocks below. These cliffs are among the highest sea cliffs in Europe, and standing here you’ll feel like you’re at the edge of the world. The name of these cliffs? Why, Slieve League, of course.

At nearly three times the height of the Cliffs of Moher, the Slieve League Cliffs offer incredible views from their peaks

As you make your way to this stunning corner of County Donegal, you’ll first come across the Slieve League Cliffs Centre. This family-run spot is packed full of local history and culture, so take time to check out the locally made knitwear and artworks. In summertime, you might even catch a traditional Irish music session!

From the Cliffs Centre, you can either drive right up to the main viewing area of the cliffs, or you can use the parking lot here and go on foot to the viewpoint. A walk in Ireland’s landscapes is a walk with Mother Nature, so choosing this option will treat you to beautiful scenery before you even reach the cliffs!

I recommend driving up when the car park down is not to crowded so you have easier access to the cliffs in case you want to walk all the way up.
