Grange (Irish: An Ghráinseach, meaning 'monastic farm'[3]) is a village on the N15 road in County Sligo, Ireland.
Streedagh, a townland near Grange, is the location of a large sandy beach, three Spanish Armada wrecks, and a salt water lagoon that is an area of Special Conservation.
[citation needed] A short distance to the north are the towns of Ballyshannon and Bundoran, a surfing and seaside resort, which are both bypassed, and the villages of Tullaghan and Cliffoney.
[6][7] Born Eliza Rosanna Gilbert in Sligo, she caught the eye of Bavaria's King Ludwig I in 1846 by claiming to be an exotic dancer from Spain.
Bavarian citizens put up with their king's cavorting, but their patience snapped when his courtesan began meddling in state affairs.
He documents his shipwreck at Streedagh, the subsequent events ashore, and his attempts to find hospitality from local chieftains (O'Rourke and McClancy) in the then English-garrisoned North Sligo, as he made his way back to Spain via Antrim and Scotland.
One particular find was a bronze cannon decorated with the image of Saint Matrona of Barcelona, which bears the initial "D" on its touchhole – the mark of the Genoese gunfounder Girardi Dorino II.
Outside the complex, there is a running track, where North Sligo Athletic Club meet (as well as at Oxfield Sports Centre), and both a grass and all-weather association football pitches.
At the north end of the village is a pitch, Molaise Park, where local Gaelic football (GAA) teams train and play.
