Ideally based in Rosses Point the Yeats Country Hotel has scenic drives in all directions, with so much stunning coastline and natural beauty.
Drive around Mullaghmore Head and take a walk around the headland. You have the best of both. Enjoy a wonderful drive regardless of the weather as it only enhances the drama of the crashing cliff waves and sun light on Inishmurry Island.
Other drives include Aughris Head with beach walk or visit the cliffs or pier and take a picnic on the nearby Dunmoran strand just a few minutes drive away. Highwood and Lough Arrow offer a stunning inland experience leading onto the Miners Way historical trail. Fishing enthusiasts can marvel at Lough Arrow, one of Europes finest wild trout fishing loughs.
