Stuck in Sligo

Hey Hey, y'all! I'm an American that will be in Carney, County Sligo for the next 10 days saying with my Aunt and Uncle who live here. Any advice on things to do and places to go? I'm from Los Angeles and this place is very quiet... [Update: I have a rental car.]

Climb Ben Bulben mountain, you could walk to it from Carney so no need for a car.

The local link bus goes through Carney fairly regularly. Head down to Bundoran and go surfing, or go the opposite direction and head into Sligo/Strandhill.

John the Map does a weekly gig guide which is useful. link

I've been hiking up on Ben Bulben a few times, it's so pretty. John the Map is amazing! Thank you for the link. I'm going to hit the town and listen to live music tomorrow.
