Along the Wild Atlantic Way

The West of Ireland conjures up many images; thatched, whitewashed cottages, a flock of sheep on a narrow road, an emerald green field with a stone wall, or the Atlantic waves crashing into towering cliffs and rocky shores.

Fahan and Surrounds

Fahan named after its patron saint, Saint Mura, is a small town on the Inishowen peninsula, in County Donegal, located about 5 miles from Buncrana. With its sandy beaches and unspoilt scenery, it is one of Ireland's most beautiful coastal destinations. The town offers a wide variety of activities and attractions, and with a rich passion for the Arts, and being renowned for its vibrant, artistic heritage, there are many art studios and traditional craft workshops to visit where you can pick up a piece of local design and craftsmanship as a reminder of your Irish holiday.
