Urban Walks
The City of Sligo or Sligo Town as it’s more commonly referred to is the largest town in the North West. County Sligo is also home to the smaller towns of Tubbercurry and Ballymote in South Sligo. While these urban centres predominately serve as a centre for commerce they also boast some lovely walking routes – ideal for anyone seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. There are a number of Slí Na Slainte routes to choose from as well as the Tour of Sligo Town and the natural beauty of the Doorly Park nature trail.
