Sligo has a varied natural landscape with spectacular limestone mountains such as Benbulben and Benwiskin that form part of the Dartry range in the North of the County while the south west of the county is dominated by the Ox mountain range which are composed on a mixture of ancient rocks – gneiss, schist and granite. This wild area of uplands is covered largely with blanket bog and is home to the Sligo Way walking route among others. The spectacular scenery in County Sligo provides the perfect landscape for hill walking with numerous routes to chose from including the Miners Way & Historical Trail, Knocknarea and Keshcorran.
