About Cliffoney
Cliffoney is a small village in north County Sligo, close to the Donegal border and set between the Atlantic coast and the Dartry Mountains. It has a rural, community-minded character, with homes and farms spread around the village and the N15 corridor rather than a dense urban centre. Everyday life is shaped by the surrounding countryside, nearby beaches and access to larger settlements such as Sligo, Ballyshannon and Bundoran. Cliffoney National School serves local primary-age children, while secondary-school options are available in nearby Ballyshannon, Bundoran and Sligo. The village is primarily car-dependent, with Bus Éireann services on the N15 and straightforward road access to surrounding towns; rail travel is available from Sligo Mac Diarmada station. Local amenities include a village shop and petrol station, community facilities and nearby pubs and restaurants, while a wider choice of cafés, supermarkets, healthcare and leisure services is found in Bundoran, Ballyshannon and Sligo. The coastline, Gleniff Horseshoe, Benbulben, Mullaghmore and Rossnowlagh are all within the broader local area, making Cliffoney appealing to people who value outdoor recreation and a quieter north-west setting.
