Area information

Dunfanaghy (1 km) - The north-western corner of Donegal (known as Sheephaven Bay) is an area of magnificent contrasts. The village itself boasts a fine selection of art and craft shops, from hand-turned pottery on site, to quilts made to your own specifications. Glenveagh National Park (35 km) - Glenveagh National Park lies along the Derryveagh mountains on the North-West coast, and its magic derives from the fact that here is one of the last places in Ireland to be influenced by man. Ards Forest Park (6 km) - Situated on the N56 between Creeslough and Dunfanaghy, Ards Forest Park is probably the most beautiful and certainly the most varied of Ireland's forest parks. Bloody Foreland (70 km) - Bloody Foreland is situated in West Donegal. The rugged beauty of this panoramic vista has commanding views over the Atlantic Ocean. Renowned for the stunning sunsets in the long summer evenings, they leave a lasting impression never to be forgotten.
