Donegal is a huge county with unmatched attitude despite the long-standing isolation from the rest of Ireland.

The county is full of extremes ranging from unspoiled landscapes with majestic peaks, sweeping beaches, and restaurants that serve awesome food. If you are planning your trip to this region in Ireland, below are some of the things to experience.

  • Glenveagh National Park 

Some hours drive deep into the Derryveagh Mountain is the 16000 hectares of national park. The Glenveagh National Park is a natural haven for natural plants and animals, and probably the best place for everyone to reconnect with nature. The park was officially opened to the public in 1986 and currently receives tourist from local and international origins. It is open all-around the year, except for public holidays.

  • Mount Errigal 

Some few hours drive along the exquisite Wild Atlantic Highway is the Mount Errigal, probably the tallest peak in Donegal. The mountain rises from the Gweedore landscape and is popular for its rosy sunset glow. Apart from the sunset, you can’t get over the sights and the climbable peak that hiking aficionados make it a must-try escapade.

  • Famine Village 

If you are looking to relieve the old Donegal times, you should set your foot in this Duagh Famine Village. Residents here use genuine artifacts with life-sized components to build authentic thatched cottages that portray the early life of Ireland. These humorous attractions are not only unique but also insightful to history lovers. Well, don’t expect the cottages in the donegalthatchcottages.com website as they are just a representation of early life.

  • ARDS Forest Park 

If you are a nature lover, Donegal’s ARDS Forest Park will certainly be your favorite spot. This lush green park is overly inviting to nature lovers looking to enjoy all stripes and network of trails that stretch from the woodland to coastal sandy beaches. The large park with more than four hundred hectares is home to a plethora of plants and animals. It makes a perfect site for picnics and kid play areas.

  • Tory Island 

Mysterious and remote are perfect terms that can describe this Island. If you thought Donegal is isolated, you might have been wrong. The Island is a boat ride away from Donegal’s beach and has a lot to experience. Fish lovers will enjoy freshly caught fish. History lovers will not be left behind as well, especially when it comes to learning the rich Irish culture. The Island remains a conservative area, preferring to keep ancient traditions, which include the appointment of a king.

  • The Fanad Head Lighthouse

This is one of the beautiful lighthouses globally, which makes it a jewel in Donegal County. The lighthouse attracts thousands of visitors looking to witness crown of Cionn Fhanada. The Fanad head, located at Lough Swilly’s mouth is said to have been shining since 1817.

Donegal’s isolation makes it quite challenging to get into. However, this brings forth the benefits of calm and under crowded tourist attraction sites. You will have enough time to interact with various specs.
