Branley's Yard, Rathcormac Craft Village is an interesting visit, just outside Sligo Town on the Wild Atlantic Way. Branley’s Yard has been a hub of activity for thousands of years, starting as a Stone Age settlement and eventually becoming a major Bronze Age friary and village.

The current buildings date back to the 1700s and were built as military barracks and grain stores. The Branley family bought the farm and the array of outbuildings in 1967. They started renovating the outbuildings, eventually giving a home to a creative community 25 years ago. Since then, they have built a thriving little hub of micro businesses, from tailor made surf boards to high end crafts.

With ample parking, a nature walk to stretch the legs and a coffee shop, this is a stop you don't want to miss.
