Sligo was named as world's best holiday destination by Vogue Magazine beating out some of the most tropical destinations from across the globe.

The legendary fashion magazine ,which hits shelves around the world, opted for the Irish county instead of an exotic island or sun-filled hotspot .

The decision came down to British Vogue Daily Editor Scarlett Conlon who fell in love with the Yeats county.

Conlon chose Sligo as the "place to be" for a trip away.

She said: "Favourite with poets and artists for centuries thanks to its sweeping vistas and rich history of literature, Sligo is an Irish county not heard of as often as its Dublin and Galway counterparts, but with the same to offer in the form of unforgettable experiences"

Not only does she say it's wonderful for families, Sligo is also the ideal choice for spot of romance.

"Just as ideal for a romantic weekend away any time of year," she explained.

Scarlett recommends that people visit the fishing-village town of Easkey, have a seaweed bath at Voya in Strandhill and take "a long, rambling walk around Hazelwood Forest."

Meanwhile, her pub of choice is Hargadon Bros on O’Connell Street. Although she did have one trip for holiday makers -a car.

She didn't seem to notice, or maybe she is not a fan, but three of the Westlife lads also reside in the north-west region as well- just in case you are in for some celebrity spotting.
