Hazelwood, County Sligo
Hazelwood (Irish: Coill an Eanaigh) is located just over 2 miles outside the town of Sligo in northwest Ireland, in the parish of Calry. It is the setting for W.B.Yeats's The Song of Wandering Aengus.
The wood is situated on the shores of Lough Gill, which contains Yeats's Lake Isle of Innisfree, and is popular among tourists and locals for its scenic walks, which is dotted with sculptures; swans, mallards and gulls who congregate at the picnic area, and for the fishing on Lough Gill.[1]
Hazelwood is also the home to Hazelwood House, a Georgian mansion which was built in 1722 by the Wynne family.[2][3] To the south of the house the abandoned remains of the former Korean factory Saehan Media can be seen.[2] To the north of Hazelwood lies Hazelwood Avenue, the residential area of the Hazelwood Peninsula. The Garavogue River flows from the west down to the south and out of Lough Gill.
