Culdaff

The village of Culdaff is a five minute walk away and the beach is one mile away. Culdaff itself is visually charming, its present layout dating back to the 18th century. McGrorys is a well known family run pub in Culdaff, established in 1924, noted for its fine food, traditional Irish music and warm welcome. Additionally the village features McGuinness' Bar and The Culdaff Arms, both of which regularly host live entertainment. 

Surrounding Area

Culdaff lies in the northern part of the Inishowen peninsula, - a unique, scenic microcosm of all that Ireland has to offer. The Inishowen Peninsula (The Isle of Owen) is bounded by the Atlantic ocean in the north, Lough-Swilly to the west and Lough Foyle in the east, with the historical city of Derry at its south eastern tip. The peninsula is famous for its spectacular scenic drive, the Inishowen 100, recently voted "Ireland's most breathtaking coastal drive". Of the 159 Discovery Points along the Wild Atlantic Way, 39 are in County Donegal. Of these, 10 are situated along the Inishowen Peninsula highlighting the impressive beauty and unique character of the area. Discovery Points inlcude Inch Island, Lisfanon Beach, Dunree Head, Mamore Gap, Pollan Bay, Malin Head, Culdaff, Kinnagoe Bay, Inishowen Head and Magilligan Point Viewpoint.

Other nearby attractions and activities include Grianan of Aileach. Wild Ireland, Inish Adventures, the Wild Alpaca Way, Amazing Grace Yacht Charters, Ballyliffin Golf Club, Greencastle Golf Club  and Redcastle Golf Club to name but a few.

In the summer months, travel across West Donegal and Nothern Ireland's Causeway Coast is even more accessible with ferry crossings available from Buncrana to Rathmullan across the Swilly, and from Greencastle to Magilligan Point across the Foyle, both worth doing if just for the spectacular scenery on the way.
