The village of Mullaghmore (An Mullach Mór), above and below, with also below a view of the village from the northern shore in which you also see our farewell view of Castle Classiebawn on the western side of the peninsula. (The village itself being on the eastern side.)
Herewith the promised larger post of photos from the little peninsula that ends in Mullaghmore Head, on which sits Classiebawn Castle which we’ve shown you twice before. This is just about all our shots from County Sligo, which we passed through en route to Donegal.
This is Classiebawn Castle, on the coast north of Sligo Town shortly before you leave County Sligo to enter County Donegal. The guidebook tells me it was home to Lord Mountbatten, who was killed near here in 1979 in an IRA bombing portrayed on The Queen :-). Looks pretty gothic, doesn’t it? You’ve seen it in one prior post, but soon we’ll show you most of what remains from our short side-trip to this little peninsula in Sligo…
(so much world, so little time....)
