About the Cliffs

Sliabh Liag is a place of sacred Christian pilgrimage and a rich Irish heritage and culture. Located in the Gaeltacht region of County Donegal, Sliabh Liag are the highest accessible sea cliffs in Europe where the cliff face of Bunglas rises over 600m above the ocean below.
Prepare to be dazzled by the panoramic view across Donegal Bay, which is simply breathtaking.
Experience the unique wonders of the natural biodiversity of marine flora and fauna found here.
A natural masterpiece of colour across a land and seascape where azure skies, wispy white clouds and cool blue seas meet the sun beaming light onto the myriad of hues of ancient rock formations shades of green and purple heather. Sliabh Liag is truly Mother Nature’s finest canvas where tales of myth and legend, local history and Irish tradition seem to be painted into this wild and rugged landscape.
To fully enjoy the spectacle of Sliabh Liag we recommend that you walk the few miles to the cliff viewing point, so as not to miss the exciting scenery of the area. Walk up the winding road to the main Sliabh Liag viewing point past the lake and local sheep, where at the top; you will be rewarded with the most stunning views as Donegal Bay sweeps in towards you.
