Walk in the footsteps of Ireland’s most famous poet WB Yeats as we bring you through Slish Wood along parts of the Sligo Way and onto the boardwalk overlooking Lough Gill. You will hear some of the poetry recited at the locations that inspired Yeats, and discover why the Sligo landscape continued to play a central role in the writings of Ireland’s foremost poet throughout his lifetime. Led by Susan O’Keeffe, Director of the Yeats Society, Sligo.
Venue: Knocknashee
Musicians in south Sligo who developed the Sligo Style of playing fiddle and flute music in particular, were inspired by the countryside that surrounded them. Nowhere overlooks this terrain more than the Hill of Knocknashee. Translated as Cnoc na Sídhe (Hill of the Faeries), Knocknashee is an ancient place which was inhabited in ancient times and where two large stone cairns sit on it’s table top summit. A new walkway has been built up the side of Knocknashee, and for this walk, we will be joined by a number of musicians who will play tunes and sing songs on the summit of Knocknashee.
