About Cliffoney
Cliffoney is a small rural village in north County Sligo, close to the Donegal border and set between the coastal landscape around Mullaghmore and the Dartry Mountains inland. It has a peaceful, community-oriented feel, with homes and farms spread along the N15 corridor and nearby local roads rather than a dense village centre. Residents have access to primary schooling locally, while secondary schools, larger supermarkets and a wider range of services are available in nearby Bundoran, Kinlough, Ballyshannon and Sligo. The N15 provides the main commuting route north and south, with bus services serving the surrounding communities, although a car is generally useful for everyday travel. Local social life centres on village pubs, community activities and GAA, with additional cafés, restaurants and shops found in Mullaghmore, Bundoran and Ballyshannon. The nearby coast offers beaches, harbour scenery and water-based recreation, while Gleniff Horseshoe, Benbulben and other north-west Sligo landscapes provide excellent walking and outdoor opportunities. Cliffoney is therefore suited to residents seeking a quieter countryside setting while remaining within reach of larger settlements and regional employment centres.
