The Slieve League Cliffs are the highest in Europe, dropping nearly 800 feet to the sea and offering some of the most spectacular coastal scenery to be found anywhere in Ireland. The cliffs overlook the Atlantic Ocean in the north of Ireland and they are somewhat higher than the more famous Cliffs of Moher in County Clare. Perhaps the best place from which to photograph the Slieve League Cliffs is from the narrow One Man’s Path which is reachable from Teelin.
