THINGS TO DO IN DONEGAL

PictureFive Fingers Strand, Inishowen
County Donegal is a large county with lots of places to explore and many things to do too.  

We have mountains to climb, miles and miles of sandy beaches to enjoy, sparkling clean seas to swim in, scenic routes to drive, cycle or walk, world-class golf courses, unpolluted lakes and rivers to fish from, delicious food to be enjoyed, cafes and bars to relax in, traditional music to hear, basically everything the heart could desire ~all this and Donegal too, it doesn't get any better!

NOTE: If telephoning any of the suppliers here please add ++353 and drop the first zero in their number if dialing from outside the Republic of Ireland.
