Carney 8.5km • Grange 9.5km • Sligo town 18km • Knock International Airport 70km Description It is rare to find a property with direct access to Sligo Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, Castlegrange Farm sweeps down to the sea with the most amazing views. This entire area is dominated by the famous Benbulben and Knocknarea mountains the final resting place of Queen Maeve and can be seen from far and wide. Situated in the heart of Yeats country, along the Atlantic Ocean, this property comes with all the culture and history which is associated with this area. The house has been in the Family for many generations and some years ago an Irish genealogy firm identified the property as the home of the ancestors of Brian Mulroney former Prime Minister of Canada and he came on a private visit to Castlegrange Farm in Ardtermon (meaning high safe place in English). Set amid c.28 acres, Castlegrange Farm has direct access to the beach via an old stile and farm gate to a good stretch of sea frontage. The land is in one block all in grass, with public road frontage and stretches from the road down to the sea. The current owner has lovingly restored, insulated and maintained this cottage yet keeping it in a traditional style. Approached via a short avenue, leading to a forecourt to the front of the traditional farmhouse. Accommodation comprises of a spacious sitting room, comfortably decorated with a wood burning stove. Sunny kitchen with fitted units, and a folding breakfast bar. There are three bright spacious bedrooms and two shower/ bathrooms. To the side of the property there is a garage and at the back there are two sheds in good condition which are ideal for many uses. Land The land extends to c.28.8 acres, all in grass, laid out in one block, with natural boundaries. The soil is fertile and sandy with drainage down to the sea, suitable for all types of agriculture. There is access to a fresh water stream on the southern side and water from the private well is available to stock on the land. Location Castlegrange Farm is located adjacent to the Wild Atlantic Way, with its own access to the beach from the farm. This area is well known for its beauty and unusual landscape being overlooked by the famous Benbulben across Sligo Bay. The village of Grange is a short drive away and will provide for basic day to day needs and there is a local shop at the nearby crossroads. Sligo town is approximately 18km away, the largest town in the North West, with a range of shops, restaurants, bars, pubs and good transport networks with regular train line to Dublin and bus services to the rest of the country. Knock International Airport, a busy Airport, flies throughout Europe is approximately 70 km drive while the cities of Dublin and Belfast with their respective International Airports are both about 2 hours 30 minutes away. Sligo is an area of renowned cultural significance being the home to both WB Yeats the world renowned poet laureate who is buried at Drumcliffe and the Countess Markievicz, the renowned Irish freedom fighter who lived at Lissadell House, which is now open to the public with exciting amenities. Ardtermon Castle which once belonged to Castlegrange Farm, has been restored, and is now being lived in. For the sporting enthusiast there are any amount of activities in this area, for the competitive sailor one can join the well-known Sligo Yacht Club situated at Rosses Point and mooring can be acquired at the local fishing harbour in Raghly. You can walk the beach at low tide and find oysters at Drumcliffe and razor clams on the beach below the farm. Locals speak of the beautiful walk along the Yellow Strand to Knocklane with views across the Atlantic to Mayo in the south and the Donegal Mountains in the north. The region has a number of excellent golf courses including the internationally known links courses at Rosses Point, Murvagh, Strandhill and Enniscrone. The area is renowned for both sea and river fishing with salmon and sea trout.

  • Day 1 – Easy Rider
    Day 1 – Easy Rider The ferry docked as promised at 0545 but we were not off and in the terminal building until about 0600. However I was still in my travelling clothes and needed to change into cycling gear. The only suitable place was the loo block so once I had found it, tucked away out of sight and with poor signage, I did some quick ablutions before unpacking and repacking and was away at 0622 only to realise that my water bottles were not in their holders. Fortunately I’d set off in the wrong direction anyway so had to come back past the terminal. The water bottles were found on the luggage trolley and off I went again, by which time it was light enough to see and be seen. I made my way out of Dublin following instructions from Rita the Ride with GPS navigator who resides on my phone and who gives me spoken cues; but also following Gary Garmin who gives me visuals from a GPS receiver on the handlebars. They sometimes disagree which can be frustrating but today they were in harmony. An early near disaster was averted more by luck than skill. I went to leave the road and ride on a paved cycle track but hit a small kerb that put the bike completely off balance and I narrowly avoided falling. The roads were not terribly busy and I was soon on a cycle track that runs all around the bay to Howth, about 15miles from the centre of the city. However I turned off before that and found myself in the busy little suburb of Malahide at about 8 am.

Introduction 1.1. Sligo County Council is seeking approval from An Bord Pleanála to carry out realignment works on a section of the existing N4-N15 north of the town. The proposed realignment works are within the catchment of a number of European sites in the vicinity of the Garavogue Estuary. An appropriate assessment screening concluded that it could not be ruled out that impacts of the proposed development could have a significant effect, either individually or in combination with other plans and projects, on a European site. On this basis, an NIS as is statutorily required, was submitted to facilitate an appropriate assessment of the proposed works. 1.2. Concurrently, Sligo County Council is seeking approval for the compulsory purchase of lands to facilitate the urban improvement scheme. 1.3. An oral hearing was conducted on 14th November 2017 at which the local authority attended and presented its proposal and addressed concerns raised by objectors.

The distance between the junction on the A5 WTC and the proposed N14/N15 junction is approximately 500m. In the longer term the scheme will facilitate connection to the proposed N14 Letterkenny to Lifford/Strabane and N15 Lifford to Stranorlar Schemes in County Donegal which are currently unprogrammed. The Scheme includes a significant structure crossing the River Finn candidate Special Area of Conservation and the associated floodplain, as shown in Plate 3.1, below. The proposed structure is detailed at Section 3.3 below and shown on Figures 3.5 to 3.7, Volume 2. The River Finn and the floodplains within County Donegal are designated as the River Finn candidate Special Area of Conservation. In County Tyrone the River Finn is also designated and lies within the River Foyle and Tributaries Special Area of Conservation (refer to Chapter 7, Section 7.2 for further details).

  • 0414 Western Development Commission
    Western Development Commission Submission on Ireland 2040 – Our Plan: National Planning Framework March 2017 Western Development Commission (WDC) WDC Submission: Key Issues for the National Planning Framework What should the NPF achieve? The National Planning Framework (NPF) provides Ireland with an opportunity to more fully realise the potential of all of its regions to contribute to national growth and productivity. All areas of Ireland, the Capital and second tier cities, large, medium and small-sized towns, villages and open countryside, have roles to play both in the national economy and, most importantly, as locations for people to live. While spatial planning strives for ideal settlement or employment patterns and transport infrastructure, in many aspects of life change is relatively slow; demographics may alter gradually over decades and generations and, given the housing boom in the early part of this century, many of our existing housing units will be in use in the very long term. If the NPF is to be effective it must focus on what is needed, given current and historical patterns and the necessity for a more balanced pattern of development. To effectively support national growth it is important that there is not excessive urban concentration “Either over or under [urban] concentration … is very costly in terms of economic efficiency and national growth rates” (Vernon Henderson, 20001). Thus it is essential that, through the NPF, other cities and other regions become the focus of investment and development. Developing Cities As the NPF is to be a high level Framework, in this submission the WDC does not go into detail by naming places or commenting on specific development projects, as these will be covered by the forthcoming Regional Spatial and Economic Strategies (RSES).
