Pilgrim's Path Sliabh Liag

Donegal

Cosán an Oilithrigh or Pilgrims Path at Sliabh Liag is a stunning 4km access route on to the plateau of Sliabh Liag. It follows the ancient path up a U-shape valley nestled between Leargadachtan Mountain and the sea cliffs at Shanbally, overlooking the small fishing village of Teelin. Up on top of Sliabh Liag is the early Christian monastic site of Aedh McBric's Church and Well. There are also the ruins of the monk’s stone dwellings (bee hive huts). This walk is a moderate walk with steep open cliffs.
