There’s only one word to describe the cliffs at Slieve League in County Donegal: Breathtaking.
Gazing down on Slieve League
At almost 2000 feet high, they are among the highest sea cliffs in the World. On a windy day, like when I visited, it feels like you could be blown right off them at any moment. Although, they’re so high, you’d perhaps never reach the Atlantic Ocean, so far below!
Sue and I were both afraid we might get blown right off the cliffs – At least her bright yellow jacket would have been easy to spot!

It’s a bit choppy down there!

Ireland has so many amazing cliffs. I was just at the Kerry Cliffs and know what you mean about the wind! Luckily there they had railing all along the edge.
No railings at Slieve League, Anisa!
Wonderful post 😀
Thanks Cee!
Ireland looks like such a beautiful country! Can’t wait to visit one day 🙂
It definitely deserves its nickname of The Emerald Isle, M!
Indeed ! 😍
sono fra le più alte d’Europa ed incutono un certo timore ed una certa riverenza, selvagge ed aspre, con il mare spinto dai venti dell’oceano, quasi sempre infuriato
splendide immagini
I certainly stayed back from the very edge!

We missed Slieve League in 2014 there was not enough time. These photos are great for a look at what we passed by. Would like to spend a week or so on Donegal and walk the path on top of the cliffs.
Sorry you missed these when you were in Ireland, Michael, but there’s always too much to see and too little time, isn’t there?!
