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.

Donegal Castle
You can learn about the history of Donegal with a trip to Donegal Castle. Visit the lively bars or top-notch restaurants in this relaxing area.

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.

Mount Errigal
The tallest of the Seven Sisters in County Donegal, Mount Errigal is part of the larger Derryveagh Mountain Range and is considered to be one of the most iconic mountains in Ireland. Situated in the remote north-west of Ireland, Mount Errigal lies in the country’s most sparsely populated region, making this an exquisite place to escape.
