The northern most point of Ireland, this holds all the rural charm associated with Ireland. Beautiful rugged scenery and an unspoiled landscape. If you want to 'lose yourself' and 'get away from it all', then this is the place.

Malin Head

When you visit the breathtaking Malin Head on northernmost tip of Ireland, you’ll soon understand why the tourist trail here is called the Wild Atlantic Way. At the peak of the Inishowen Peninsula, Malin Head offers some of the most indomitable views you will ever see over the northern Atlantic and its geological marvels are second only to the Giant’s Causeway Coast.

Glenveagh National Park

Blanketed in forests, mountains, woodland and water meadows, Glenveagh National Park is one of the primary attractions in County Donegal. The park is particularly popular with hikers, owing to its combination of untamed natural beauty, challenging trails and sculpted gardens – the latter of which are part of the 19th century Glenveagh Castle. The park covers an impressive 66 square miles of countryside.

One of several castles we only had the opportunity to visit from the exterior.
