Donegal is renowned for beautiful scenic views and is part of the Wild Atlantic Way. Close to the house there are stunning beaches Tullagh Bay and Binion to name just two of many. In Tullagh Bay you can also spend the day with a surf lesson.

There are also some amazing hills for walking in the Clonmany area Binion Hill being one where you can enjoy 360-degree views from the top. If you travel a little further out of Clonmany for ten minutes to Urris where there are lots of different walking trains such as the Urris Lakes loop and Butler’s Glen walk. For the more adventurous you can climb Slieve Snaght Inishowen’s highest mountain which rises to 615 meters and on a clear day from the top you can see all the way to Scotland.

Tullagh Bay Equestrian is located ten minutes from the house and provides riding and trekking for all ages it is great fun for all the family.

Glenevin Waterfall

The beautiful Glenevin Waterfall is a five-minute drive from the property and has off road parking. The waterfall stands at almost 40 foot tall and has a skinny cascade of freshwater. It provides a lovely ramble from the car park. Taking and enjoying a picnic is a must at one of the many benches provided or take a picnic blanket. The walk from the car park to the waterfall takes about 20 minutes.

Inishowen Attractions

Fort Dunree is 12km from Clonmany and is an old retired defensive fort with a military museum which all sits on the spectacular western coastline on the Inishowen Peninsula.

Malin Head is 30km north from Clonmany and the northernmost point of Ireland. The dramatic coastal headland is well worth the visit. This is also where some scenes for Star Wars were filmed at Banba’s Crown you can walk in the steps of Luke Skywalker and get a picture beside the new R2D2 road signs.

If relaxing in a typical Irish Bar is on your list of musts, then Clonmany Village is a ten-minute stroll from the house and has many bars that will be sure to provide you with a good pint of Guinness.

Clonmany Festival

Once a year Clonmany also host a festival which attracts thousands of holiday makers and locals alike and is guaranteed to be a fun family week full of activities. Each night of the entire week Ireland’s top bands performs open air live on stage. During the day there are a lot of activities to keep all the family entertained from cycling events, pet shows, treasure hunts, talent competitions, Ceili’s and a fun fair for all the family.

There are many more activities and places to visit in Inishowen and surrounding Donegal what I have named are but a few. What I can guarantee you is that once you visit Inishowen and especially Clonmany you will be planning your next trip back before you leave.
