Lighthouse Farm

Lighthouse Farm is located on an elevated site - just north of the fishing village of Greencastle - on the eastern side of the Inishowen peninsula. The property has sweeping panoramic views that encompass Shroove Beach, Inishowen Head Lighthouse, Lough Foyle and Magilligan Point in north County Derry. The holiday home is gated and has a large lawn and patio area - with outdoor furniture - to the front. Free wifi is available.

Local Area

It's only a short drive to the fishing village of Greencastle and Kealy's Seafood Bar. At the harbour, you can take the car ferry to Magilligan Point and onwards to explore such features as the Giant's Causeway and Bushmills Distillery.

Greencastle is a commercial fishing port and has the National Fisheries College located to the northern end of the village. It has a picturesque harbour area, and there is a ferry service crossing the Foyle on a regular basis to Magilligan Point in County Derry - convenient for car trips to the Giants Causeway, Bushmills, Dunluce Castle, and other attractions along the Antrim Coast in Northern Ireland. There is a golf course in Greencastle and another at nearby Redcastle - the renowned Ballyliffin Links Course is 20mins drive away.

The old Coastguard Station has been converted into a Maritime Museum, and it also has a planetarium. - Not to be missed when in Greencastle.

The harbour area is kept busy with visitors and tourists making use of the ferry, which operates a regular daily service from the harbour to Magilligan Point, just across the water. This is the narrowest stretch on Lough Foyle before it narrows again, where it becomes the Foyle River at Derry.

The ferry service saves a 78km journey around the Lough if you want to get to the other side and visit Port Rush, Port Stewart, the Mussenden Temple at Downhill, or the lovely stretch of beach known as Benone Strand. A bit further, along this coast, visit the Giants Causeway, The Bushmills Distillery, or Dunluce Castle.
