Buncrana

The town of Buncrana is a mere ten-minute walk away, and you will find a choice of shops, supermarkets, pubs, banks, restaurants, and other service providers and retailers to satisfy your needs.

A short walk will take you to the nearby Tullyarvan Mill, - a renovated picturesque 19th-century corn mill situated on the banks of the Crana River. It is now a community, cultural and hostel centre.

Along the scenic Shore Front seafront walk there is a superb free kids play area with an all-weather surface which can provide hours of entertainment for children of all ages.

Golf

For the golf enthusiast, Buncrana Golf Club (Ireland's oldest 9-hole links course) is only a short 5 min. drive along the coast just within the town boundary. There is also a fantastic 18-hole course, the Northwest Golf Club, located just two minutes further in Lisfannon.

Having hosted the Irish Open in 2018, the world famous Ballyliffin Golf Course is a must play for any golfer visiting Inishowen! Boasting two 18-hole links courses and the newly added 9-hole par-three courses, Ballyliffin G.C. is only twenty minutes drive to the north from the holiday home.

Fishing/Angling

The Crana is probably one of the finest salmon fishing rivers in the northwest and day licences are available from the local angling club.

Walking/Hiking

 Walkers will enjoy rambling along the banks of the river, and there is a well laid out path at Swan Park. A spectacular coastal walk can be enjoyed which starts from the old castle bridge and follows a path along the shoreline to Neds Point, Porthaw Beach, Fr Hegartys Rock, and ends at Stragill Beach.

There are also many hiking trails to follow in Inishowen offering breathtaking views with varying degrees of difficulty but the reward is always worth it!
