The highest cliff face in Europe, Slieve League is spectacular not just for its sheer elevation but also for its colour; at sunset the rock is streaked with changing shades of red, amber and ochre.

The most conspicuous remains are the pillars decorated with cross-motifs and geometric designs which are now the  'stations of the cross' of the pilgrimage which takes place on the Saint's feastday on June 9th.
