The scenery at Slieve League is fantastic. The cliffs are easily found as they are well signposted from the village of Carrick. Some of the signs and guide books may use the Irish spelling Sliabh Liag - the pronunciation is the same. The road to the top car park has been improved since some of the earlier reviews on here.... more

I headed down the coast from Killybegs, following the coastal road through the towns of Kilcar & Carrick to the Teelin Pier, where I met Paddy Byrne, the captain of the Nuala Star, for a sail up the coast to see the tallest sea cliffs in Europe - the Slieve League. I first went up to the top and looked... more

Although we had planned to go to Sligo, and perhaps visit the city of Donegal, we had not planned on a day trip out to Slieve League. But the weather was grand, and we had are rental car, and took a chance. Best spur of the moment decision we made on this recent trip to Ireland. As the others said,... more

I recently had the pleasure of travelling to Killybegs for some fishing and diving, staying in a local B&B which served up the best in Irish Breakfasts we have found(apparently its the tradition to feed you well in Killybegs) I had planned on doing my own thing but when I visited the local Information Centre and by was there loads... more

We visited Slieve League on March 20th 2009. The access road to the top was closed for construction so we had to walk the 1.7 kilometers to the top which is a steep incline. The views along the way were excellent and once we made it to the top it was well worth the hike. Slieve League is the tallest... more

What a great experience. Managed to negotiate the narrow road to the car park at the top without any problems. Not as bad as you think. Once at the top the views are excellent and you have the option to go even higher if you like hill climbing. I was there on a very windy but clear day and had... more

Slieve League Cliffs are the most amazing site. I've also been to the Cliffs of Moher, while they are great, they just aren't as breathtaking as Slieve League is. The upper road is extrememly narrow and scarey, but you can park at the lower lot and walk up hill to the top. Once you are there, you will not be... more

These cliffs are an absolute must-see if you are anywhere nearby. I had been to the Cliffs of Moher and thought these much more beautiful. The drive to the parking area was narrow and a bit scary but worth it when you get there. You can walk up the path a little way, or climb all the way to the... more

This is a must see. These are the highest sea cliffs in Europe and they are spectacular. You can drive to them or you can take a boat from Teelin. P.S. If you are driving a caravan or don't like driving on a road that is very narrow with a shear drop on one side you can park in the... more
