Drumcliffe, County Sligo is set against the striking backdrop of the Benbulben Mountains. It is best known as the final resting place of W.B. Yeats.

Found in the churchyard, his grave is marked with a simple headstone with the inscription: "Cast a cold eye on life, on Death. Horseman, pass by." This was Yeats' self-penned epitaph together with the instructions that the grave consist of "no marble, no conventional phrase".

The graveyard also contains a high cross and nearby is the site of a 6th-century Columbian monastery.
