Top Donegal attractions

Situated on the Wild Atlantic Way, Donegal county was named 2017’s ‘coolest place on the planet’ by National Geographic Traveller and has something to offer for every visitor.

Donegal Castle

One of the area’s most popular visitor attractions, Donegal Castle was constructed in the 15th century by the O’Donnell chieftain. The castle is now fully furnished and features Persian rugs and French tapestries, as well as extensive 17th century additions by Sir Basil Brooke. Guided tours are available daily.

Bundoran Surf Co.

Bundoran is known as the surf capital of Ireland - and with good reason! Surfers come from all over the world to experience the waves here, and the team at Bundoran Surf Co. is a crew whose lives revolve around the ocean and those waves.

Lough Eske

Just outside Donegal town, and surrounded on three sides by the Blue Stack Mountains, Lough Eske is a beloved holiday destination with two major hotels on its shores. Scenic forest paths meander through unspoiled surroundings, and the lake is a popular fishing spot: spring salmon, sea trout, and char can be fished here during the season that runs from the beginning of March to the end of September.

Visit discoverireland.ie for local activities and information.

Fintown Railway

Lovingly restored to glory, a red and white 1940s diesel railcar runs along a repaired 5km section of the former County Donegal Railway. Nestled in the heart of spectacular mountain scenery, surrounded by tradition, myth, and folklore, experience a break from everyday life alongside the crystal clear waters of Lough Finn.

Visit fintownrailway.com for local history and visitor information.

Maghera Strand & Caves

Renowned for its spectacular geology, there are over 20 caves hidden at the end of Maghera Strand, as well as arches and rock tunnels. Caution is advised, as caves are only accessible at low tide and local currents are dangerous and strong. If the stunning beach is more your thing, sunset on a clear evening is a priceless experience. Nearby Assaranca waterfall is beautiful and well worth a visit.
