Grianán of Aileach

An Inishowen tour usually begins or ends with a visit to An 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.

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 the recent ‘Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi’.

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’.

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.

Doagh Famine Village

Experience how families and communities lived in the original thatched cottages in rural Ireland. The guided tour also include an Eviction Scene, Orange Hall, Republican Safe House and Irish Wake House.

Inishowen Beaches

Surrounded by Lough Swilly, Lough Foyle and the Wild Atlantic Ocean, the Inishowen peninsula has a wealth of sandy beaches for stretching the legs on a tour of Donegal.
