View from the Grianan
The Grianan has four levels- reminds one of an amphitheatre.
Bren and I look over Loch Swilly.
Sligo- Yeats' grandfather was rector in St Columba's Church.
Monument to Yeats enscribed with "Cloths of Heaven" poem.
Yeats' grave- "Horseman, pass by..."
"Under Ben Bulben..."- sheep graze in a field beside the ancient churchyard.
Celtic Cross- remainder of the monastery that once stood here.
The Round Tower is a remnant of St Columcille's monastery; a road was built straight through the ruins, and consequently the tower stands on a rotary!
This lovely garden is nearby St Columba's church.
Clifden town was delightful!
