New trail to show Sligo ‘through the eyes’ of WB Yeats
Sligo has long been known as Yeats Country as the poet WB Yeats, though born in Dublin, was greatly inspired by the county.
His mother Susan Mary Pollexfen was from a local wealthy merchant family, and he spent much time there through his life.
Now, a Yeats Trail has been devised so that visitors can “see the Sligo landscape through the eyes of Ireland’s national poet”.
