Heritage walks, museum days, temple complexes, and the kind of guides who explain why a place matters rather than reciting dates. The cultural side of Donegal, paced for actual seeing.
1Discover the dramatic beauty of South Donegal along the Wild Atlantic Way, home to the spectacular Sliabh Liag, among the highest and most accessible sea cliffs in Europe. This guided journey follows part of Donegal’s 1,200 km rugged coastline, passing through some of Ireland’s most remote and authentic coastal villages. Along the way, you’ll explore Donegal’s rich maritime heritage in Killybegs, Ireland’s premier fishing harbour. At Muckross Head, take in sweeping views across Donegal Bay towards Benbulben, near the final resting place of Ireland’s greatest poet, W. B. Yeats. The tour continues high above the Atlantic to Bunglas, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Slieve League cliffs, with time for a short walk near the summit. To finish, step back in time at Glencolmcille Folk Village, offering a vivid insight into traditional Irish life from centuries past.
2At the top of Northeast Donegal is Inishowen, Ireland's largest peninsula. On this Wild Atlantic Way tour, I'll show you around part of the peninsula's 100-mile coastal drive known as the 'Inishowen 100'. On your journey, you'll see the glacial fjord, Lough Swilly, which inspired the hymn 'Amazing Grace'. You'll learn the ancient secrets of Grianan of Aileach ring fort, seat of power of the chieftains of Ulster. I'll recount the tragedy of the SS Laurentic and its undiscovered gold near Fort Dunree. You'll travel through the nerve-racking Mamore Gap and defy physics on the 'Magic Road'. A visit to Doagh Famine Village will have you step back in time, hearing how life used to be in the area. Your day culminates in a galaxy far, far away by reaching Malin Head, Ireland's most Northerly point and the filming location of Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. The tour is in a fun, relaxed manner, with plenty of jokes, tall tales and the odd song too!
3Your local guide has a strong personal connection to Fort Dunree and the area and provides a unique insight into the place, people and nature. This tour is dramatically located along Donegal's Wild Atlantic Way with stunning views throughout of Lough Swilly, Fanad Peninsula, the Urris Hills and west Donegal. After your guided tour you will also receive entrance tickets for the Fort Museum which you can explore at your leisure.
4Situated between the Mulroy Bay and the glacial fjord Lough Swilly is the Fanad peninsula, one of Ireland's best kept secrets. On this tour, I will transport you along the winding, coastal roads towards Fanad Lighthouse, one of County Donegal's Wild Atlantic Way signature points. Here you can stroll along the grounds of a functioning, historical Lighthouse, taking in the views of the ocean and bird life. On your journey, I will enthral you with stories and legends of the peninsula. Learn about the creation of 'Football Special', Ramelton's answer to Coca-Cola. Visit Rathmullan, the site of one of the most important events in Irish history, 'The Flight of the Earls'. Then cross the politically placed 'Bridge to Nowhere'. We'll walk the ruins of Doe castle which overlooks Sheephaven bay and hear of the clan that built it. This tour is held in a fun, relaxed way with plenty of photo opportunities, music, (bad) jokes and features coast, castles and Craic!
