On one side it is bordered by Lough Foyle with panoramic views over this majestic lough towards Magilligan Strand and the mountains of North Derry. On the other side there are equally spectacular views towards the Inishowen hills. Even if the golf isn’t good you will certainly appreciate the views.

Located along the Wild Atlantic Way

Greencastle village has a beautiful setting overlooking Lough Foyle towards the dramatic Benevenagh Mountain.  It has become a popular family tourist destination due to its central location on the beautiful Inishowen Peninsula and its easy access – via ferry -  to the dramatic northern coastlines of Derry and Antrim. It lies along the route of the Wild Atlantic Way and is 25 minutes drive from the historic walled City of Derry.
