Things to See & Do

Walking / Cycling

The countryside around Cromleach Lodge is excellent for the walking or cycling enthusiast. Quiet country roads take you through some spectacular unspoiled scenery and to the numerous archaeological sites in the area. Many of the marked walking trails are through fields and woodland. Maps & guide books are available at the hotel. Walking guides are also available if required.

Touring

Cromleach Lodge is an ideal centre from which to tour Sligo and the north west region. A touring guide of Sligo is available. This is made up of six driving/cycling tours covering the entire county (including a tour of Yeats' country) and a walking tour of Sligo City. Each tour has options for short walks along a wide variety of trails - from empty stretches of beach to secluded lakeshore woodlands.

Fishing / Boating

Cromleach's proximity to Lough Arrow offers visitors the opportunity of fishing or boating (with or without a ghillie). Boats with outboard motors are available. Lough Arrow is a well-known brown trout lake with great fly fishing from April to September. There are also numerous smaller lakes and rivers locally. Salmon fishing on Lough Gill, River Easky & Ballisodare Weir can also be arranged. Sea fishing from Rosses Point or Mullaghmore provides excellent sport for the deep-sea angler and will be arranged on request.

Archaeological Sites

There are over 5000 recorded archaeological sites in County Sligo - from one of the world's oldest (4840 BC) and largest (30 monuments) megalithic cemeteries at Carrowmore to the famine graveyard at Strandhill. Many of these are easily accessible and within easy driving distance of Cromleach Lodge. In fact the largest portal dolmen in Ireland (The Labby) is situated on the hotel lands along one of the walking trails. The booklet "Archaeology in County Sligo" is available at the hotel.

Yeats' Country

William Butler Yeats, one of Ireland's most celebrated poets, spent much of his early years in County Sligo. In many of his poems he recalls the special people, times and places he experienced there. In addition to the better known places associated with Yeats such as the Lake Isle of Innisfree, Glencar Waterfall, Lissadell House and Drumcliff Churchyard, the Yeats Tour takes in many other sites associated with W. B. and his brother Jack Yeats. Details available at hotel.

Horse Riding

Sligo Riding Centre has an indoor riding arena and also provides horse riding (with guide if required) along quiet roads, cross-country and on the beach at Strandhill.
