When in County Sligo you can get a feel for the Irish Seaside by paying a visit to the beach at Strandhill, 8km's from Sligo Town.
We stayed across the road, and enjoyed a walk by the beach.
Although it was pretty windy, the sky was blue, so that made up for it!!

Poetry Lovers and English students visit here to see Yeats Grave, But is he here?
Yeats died in France, and was buried in a local cemetry. An englishman died in the same village and was buried in the same Cemetry. During the war the cemetry was damaged, and some residents were moved and buried again, including Yeats and the Englishman.
After the war the families of both men requested they be returned to their home towns. The local doctor knew which coffin was which, as he had attended both men, and remembered "the Englishman" had a surgical support (for Back Pain).
But the doctor had listed Yeats as english also-
And
Both men had surgical supports!
