William Butler Yeats
St. Columba's Church of Ireland church. It is located in Drumcliff, Co Sligo and is the site where W. B. Yeats is buried. When we were there, a few bus loads of people showed up. Inside the church there was a free program with a map to tell you where Yeats' grave was located. There was also a coffee cafe on the grounds with a small gift shop with everything a tourist would be interested in.

I love that most cities around the world have a point of interest that draws tourists there. St Columba has Yeats but I bet when tourists visit, those views get just as much attention :)

ReplyDeleteI love the landscape you present. And I hate the gift shops for tourists. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteThe church has a beautiful simplicity, at least on the outside. And it's in a magnificent setting!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Thank you for this great post with beautiful photos.

That is a beautiful church and the shots from the back wall are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBecoming a tourist attraction after you're dead is a very odd concept! The church and the views are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGone, but not forgotten. Marlene Dietrich is buried in a cemetery near my home. She gets her fair share of tourists as well.
