New fantastic Video of Sliabh Liag
Created: Tuesday, 30 August 2016
Sliabh Liag a tall mountain of nearly 2000 feet, precipitous on its northern side, has been devoured by the sea till the southern face forms a precipice likewise, descending on this side right into the Atlantic from the long knife-edge which forms the summit. The northern precipice, which drops 1500 feet into the coomb surrounding the Little Lough Agh, harbours the majority of the alpine plants of Slaibh Liag, the most varied group of alpines to be found anywhere in Donegal.
Swooping down from the mountain of Slaibh Laig, the cliffs are among the highest sea cliffs in Europe. From the highest point on the cliffs, it’s a staggering 609m (1,998 feet) drop into the swirling Atlantic Ocean below.
