Inishowen Private Tour

'Step On' Tour Guide

The ‘Inishowen 100’ offers scenic views from Grianan of Aileach fort, a breathtaking descent at Mamore Gap, a step back in time at Doagh Famine Village as well as a visit to Ireland’s most northerly point Malin Head.

All Inishowen tour itineraries are custom built to suit the interests of the tourist, their location and timeframe available. The following is a suggestion of some of the discovery points to include while on a day trip of Inishowen, Co. Donegal.


An Grianan Aileach, Co. Donegal

Grianán of Aileach

An Inishowen tour usually begins or ends with a visit to Grianan of Aileach, a majestic ringfort in Burt, Inishowen dating back to the sixth or seventh century. The hillfort overlooks Inishowen, Co. Donegal on one side and Co. Derry on the other.

Malin Head, Co. Donegal

Banba’s Crown, Malin Head

A visit to Malin Head, Ireland’s most northerly point, is a real bucket lister. Go where the larger coaches can’t – right to ‘Banba’s Crown’, the northernmost tip. Experience the unique rugged landscape that was the filming location of ‘Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi’.

Mamore Gap

Mamore Gap

Mamore Gap is a steep, narrow road along the Urris Hills. A viewing point at the top offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding countryside. There are holy relics to be found including a holy well devoted to Saint Eigne as well as a ‘Magic Road’ or ‘Gravity Hill’.

Dunree Fort, Inishowen

Fort Dunree

Located on the West side of the Inishowen peninsula, the scenic drive to Fort Dunree alone is as breathtaking as the view from the fort. Historically a coastal defence fortification, Fort Dunree is now a military museum with many restored guns as well as exhibitions about the area’s birds, marine life and coastal vegetation.

Culdaff Beach, Inishowen Peninsula, Co. Donegal

Inishowen Beaches
