The Irish name for the cliffs is Sliabh Liag meaning the Grey Mountain.<\/p>\n<p>W: www.sliabhleague.com<\/p>\n<h2>The Slieve League Viewpoint<\/h2>\n<p>Slieve League (mountain of the flagstones) is often photographed from a viewpoint that can breached by a very narrow road called One Man\u2019s Path that departs from the village of Teelin. Nevertheless it is better to leave the car and walk the 2-3 km to the cliffs so as not to miss the spectacular scenery of the area.<\/p>\n<p>From the viewing point there are terrific views across Donegal Bay towards the mountains of Sligo and Mayo. To the west is the North Atlantic ocean as far as the eye can see. North west is Rathlin O\u2019Byrne island and Glencolmcille. A short walk will take you to the right of the amazing cliff face of Bunglas which rises over 306m above the ocean.
