Pack your hiking boots and climb the famous Queen Maeve Trail, Knocknarea Mountain. The summit rewards you with spectacular views of Sligo as well as the cairn of Queen Maeve. The mountain is steeped in Neolithic history with evidence that the area was a place of large activity around 3400BC.

The Keash Hill Trail is a hillside trek that leads to caves where Ice Age animal remains have been found. The climb can be steep, but reaching the 17 caves located on the western side of the mountain is worth it.

Knocknashee is a beautiful hilltop fort which is also known as ‘Hill of the Fairies’. Work has recently been completed on the Knocknashee Walk making it easier to enjoy this beautiful attraction. Michael Guilfoyle of the The Irish Times spoke of Knocknashee as “just one among many walks and other opportunities for outdoor activities in storied south Sligo, an area that will well reward a lengthy visit.”
