Must see Donegal Attractions
One of our favourite spots for walking and hiking and bring the dogs.
Bit of a trek to get to (In the middle of Donegal), but even the journey there is beautiful and well worth it alone.
Great for all types of weather with appropriate attire.

Dunlewey and the Poison Glen is a must stop for us and it didn’t disappoint. The trip down is a narrow, winding road, so don’t be in a rush to get there. Even with what is remaining of the church, it’s still beautiful in its own right. Mount Errigal is your backdrop!
