Approaching Sligo

At the end of our circumnavigation of Lough Erne, we ended up in Enniskillen, from whence we continued the westward journey towards Sligo, which is located on Donegal Bay, in the north west of Ireland. It appears that Sligo is slightly north of Bangor.

Approaching Sligo, we came across the Drumcliff River Valley, and Glencar Lake. And there's a place to pull off to the side of the road to view the scene.
