W.B. Yeats’ Grave

“Under bare Benbulben’s head”, along the N15, this village is best known as the final resting place of the great poet WB Yeats. Drumcliffe is home to a church, graveyard, and bustling coffee shop and closeby you will also find the Yeats Tavern restaurant.

Yeats was one of the foremost figures of Irish literature during the 20th century, and much of his work was inspired by County Sligo.
