Donegal County Council, in conjunction with the Sliabh Liag Company, aims to improve the visitor experience at Sliabh Liag.

Sliabh Liag is one of the tallest cliffsides in Europe, reaching 601m high over the Atlantic Ocean. This attraction is popular among tourists visiting Donegal and it remains the top attraction visited within the county. Sliabh Liag is also listed as one of the Discovery Points along the Wild Atlantic Way.

The existing viewing platform, located along the Sliabh Liag View Walk, does not currently reach visitor expectations. The viewing platform is a simple timber structure, which requires consistent maintenance to ensure it remains operational. Donegal County Council, in conjunction with the Sliabh Liag Company, aims to improve the visitor experience at Sliabh Liag.

Sliabh Liag would benefit from a well-designed viewing platform which achieves a safer and more comfortable experience for all users enabling them to appreciate the natural beauty of the area. Any replacement platform will require consideration of the material and form to minimize impact on the highly sensitive environment and ensure efficient management of the area. Funding for this scheme has been sourced from Fáilte Ireland under the Shared Island Programme for Government.

A Non-Statutory Public Consultation is now being carried out to allow members of the public an opportunity to review the proposed scheme and raise any comments.

We want to understand your views on the proposed scheme .  To have your say please complete the feedback form at the website bellow.

Closing date for providing feedback on the proposed scheme is 2nd April 2025.

In addition, an in-person Non-Statutory Public Consultation event, where members of the public are invited to meet the project team and discuss the proposed scheme, will be held in:Sliabh Liag Cliff Experience & Visitor Centre, F94 W8KC
