Holidays are a time to escape; from work, school and everyday
chores. But where's a good place to go, to really
escape-from-it-all? Try one of our County Donegal cottages
scattered about Ireland's far north-west, a region of
mind-boggling landscapes, dazzling white beaches and soaring sea
cliffs.
Whether your idea of holiday heaven is a lazy day on a beach,
rambling over rugged hills or swinging your irons on a velvet
green, Donegal is packed to the brim with outdoor fun. Enjoy
year-round scuba diving. Learn how to surf. Walk exhilarating
coastal trails around the truly staggering Cliffs of Slieve League.
And don't miss the stunning beaches and dramatic rocks of Malin
Head, Ireland's most northerly point.
Family outings and other attractions in County
Donegal…
Hop aboard the waterbus and tour historic Donegal Town. Or what
about a sea safari around Donegal Bay, encounters with wildlife
guaranteed? Let children run wild at Ards Forest Park, with its
woodlands, rivers, sandy beaches and play areas. Wander the
glorious gardens of Ardnamona. Book a guided tour of Donegal
Castle. Watch out for the Golden Eagle at Glenveagh National Park.
Add museums, folk villages, stone circles…they're all
here.
Time your Donegal cottage holiday right and you might catch the
Earagail Arts Festival, usually held in July and showcasing all
sorts of theatre, comedy, family events, exhibitions and workshops
all over the county.
Another wonderful thing about Donegal - and therefore another
reason to book a Donegal holiday home - is to sample the superb
food and drink. Think sensational seafood platters and atmospheric
pub. Enjo!
