Itinerary

Donegal Town

45 min

Setting off in the morning you will visit both the Abbey and Donegal Castle, homestead of the O'Donnell Clan and their most famous leader Red Hugh O Donnell. On the site of a Viking fort, it was built by the famous Donegal Chieftain dynasty in the 15th century and has undergone restoration works in recent years.
Killybegs

15 min

Next we visit the seaside town of Killybegs, Ireland's largest fishing port. We recount it’s maritime history through the ages including how the “La Girona” set sail from these shores for the last time. From here we travel along the Wild Atlantic Way towards the Muckross Coast.
Slieve League

1 h 40 min Admission not included

Next we ‘Discover the Edge’ of Sliabh Liag, which are among Europe’s highest Sea Cliffs. At 2000ft, Slieve League cliffs are three times higher than the Cliffs of Moher and now attract over 160,000 visitors each year. Here you will get a chance to absorb the clean fresh Atlantic air from the viewing point where you will get possibly the best selfie in the World!! Take a stroll on the Pilgrim’s Path or if you dare along One Man Pass.
Glencolmcille

one hour

Next we visit The Glencolmcille Folk Village Museum. This is a cluster of six small cottages, called the "clachán," perched on a hillside overlooking a sandy curve of nearby Glenbay beach. Each cottage recreates a different era of Irish history, from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.
