About

An hour-long tour of Lough Gill aboard a covered, all-weather tourboat, with commentary on local history, mythology and Yeats's poetry along the way. The main sailings run daily from Easter to September from Parke's Castle, about 7 miles from Sligo on the Dromahair road, but in July and August there's also a daily sailing direct from Doorly Park in Sligo Town itself, which is the more convenient option if you don't have a car.

Tips

  • The Doorly Park sailing (1:30pm) only runs in July and August; outside those months, the tour departs from Parke's Castle instead.
