Slieve League, Co Donegal.
Sliabh Liag/Slieve League
Sliabh Liag (Slieve Leage), the highest accessible seacliffs in Europe reaching a height of 1,972 feet/601 meters, is almost twice as high as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and nearly three times the height of the more famous Cliffs of Moher in County Clare.
It is often reported that Sliabh Liag are the highest sea cliffs in Europe but this is a fallacy. They are actually the fifth highest in Europe after: Cape Enniberg, The Faroe Islands 754m; Croaghun, Achill Island, County Mayo, Ireland 688m; Vixia Herbeira, Spain 621m and Preikestolen, Norway 604m, and second highest in Ireland and Britain.
The most important difference however is that Sliabh Liag is easily accessible whereas some of the others are either inaccessible or only accessible by trained hikers or mountain climbers.
