Surrounded by Beautiful Beaches

Church View is an ideal base for a beach holiday. The superb Tramore Strand at Rosapenna is an unspoilt beach stretching for over 5km along the shores of Sheephaven Bay. At nearby Downings there is another fine beach which is popular for swimming and watersports. If you prefer your beaches a little quieter then there are numerous secluded beaches dotted along the length of the Atlantic Drive. The Mulroy Bridge brings the wonderful beaches of the Fanad Peninsula within easy driving distance – including the Blue Flag Portsalon Beach and Ballyhiernan Strand. The latter beach is the venue for the Adventure One Surf School which is the leading ISA (Irish Surfing Association) approved school on the north coast of Donegal. Closer to home is the PADI approved Meevagh Diving Centre in Carrigart itself which offers diving training all year round

An Ideal Golfing Base

Church View is also a good base for the keen golfer. Stretching along the length of Tramore Strand is the magnificent Rosapenna Golf Resort which features two superb natural links courses – Sandy Hills and the Old Tom Morris Course. Both courses are highly ranked in Golf  Digests Top 100 courses in Ireland - Sandy Hills at No 21 and the old Tom Morris at no 33.   At Rosapenna there is also a driving range and a fine pitch an putt course. The top class Portsalon links course is just 15km away via the Mulroy Bridge and Dunfanaghy Golf Club is 20km to the west.

Located at the entrance to the scenic Rosguil Peninsula Church View is within easy driving distance of two more of Irelands most beautiful Peninsulas – Fanad and Horn Head.  Heading towards Horn Head the visitor will pass the renowned Lackagh Bridge, the majestic Ards Forest Park, the Creeslough Lakes , Muckish Mountain and the popular beach resorts of Marble Hill, Portnablagh and Dunfanaghy. In the Fanad direction you have the dramatic Fanad Head Lighthouse, the Knockalla Coast Road and the holiday resorts of Portsalon and Rathmullan. All three peninsulas are ideal walking terrain.

Glenveagh National Park

The magnificent Glenveagh National Park is just over 25km from the holiday home. This park has over 16,000 hectares (40,000 acres) of mountains, lakes, glens and woods, with a herd of red deer and the recently reintroduced Golden Eagle.
