Yeats Country Racontour brings the Sligo/Leitrim area to life by playing audio segments about certain places as you pass through them, on your GPS device.

This GPS audio guide brings you to each and every spot that William Butler Yeats is associated with in Counties Sligo and Leitrim. It tells you about his times there, what inspiration he got from the locations and, of course, we have some of his wonderful poetry narrated for you by talented actors - and some surprising guest stars.

It’s been designed as a two day driving tour, working best on turn-by-turn sat nav devices, but available on iPhones and smart phones* with Windows Mobile.

Day One takes in Knocknarea, Carrowmore, the Lake Isle of Inishfree and Lough Gill, Parkes Castle and Dromahair.

Day Two brings you to Glencar lake and waterfall, the mythical site of Diarmaid’s betrayal under Ben Bulben, Lissadell House, Drumcliff where Yeats is buried, Rosses Point and Sligo Town itself.

Please familiarise yourself with the numbered route in advance and ensure you read the directions given where it’s suggested you stop. With the right amount of planning, you can be guided around without the need to have vocal directions given by a sat nav device - listen to the stories and the poetry of the man instead.
