Ballyliffin Local area and attractions:
| Knockamany Bens Discover some of the largest sand dunes in Europe at the famous Five Finger Strand from Knockamany Bens. At low tide, see if you can spot the wreck of the Twilight, which sank in 1889 on its voyage to Derry. The circuit of the head will take you past the radio station, built in 1910, and round the coast to Banba’s Crown, the northern tip of Ireland. Here, a tall derelict building known locally as The Tower, was constructed in 1805 by the Admiralty and later used as a Lloyds signal station which served as a most important news link connecting America and Europe. From Banba's Crown, Inishtrahull Island and its nearly two hundred year old lighthouse can be seen to the north east and further out ot the east on a clear day you can see the Scottish Hills. |
| Carrickabraghey Castle, Isle of Doagh On the extreme tip of the Isle at the very end of the road, facing the full force of the Atlantic on a raised rock is Carrickagraghey Castle. The Isle of Doagh was once an Island but now is connected to land by road. Its form now is essentially that of a peninsula (with in peninsula). Another link in O’Doherty’s defensive network, it resembles both Inch and Burt in construction. Built before 1600 it was occupied by Phelemy Brasleigh O’Doherty. Because of its seclusion it was chosen by Cahir O’Doherty to plan his revolt. From the loops of the remarkably complete castle, Pollan Strand, the location of a vicious and bloody battle for the lordship of Inishowen in the sixteenth century, is visible. It is thought that the original castle complex was more expansive than today stretching to where more modern building has taken place. |
| Fort Dunree Fort Dunree, Dun Fhraoigh in Irish means, “Fort of the Heather” and indicates that this site has been an important defensive site down through history. Today however, its stunning natural beauty and abundant wildlife are drawing increasing numbers of visitors to one of Inishowen’s most beautiful and peaceful locations. Fort Dunree was first opened to the public in 1986 and has attracted tourists from all over the world ever since. It is a must see for every visitor to the Inishowen peninsula. |

The equestrian centre is located in Clonmany, Inishowen in the northeast of County Donegal. Outside of the centre, the location itself offers a great scenic setting for horse riding. Situated near Tullagh Beach and the rolling Urris Hills we can offer some great treks and ride outs. Explore the beauty of the beaches, bogs, mountains and surrounding countryside. Their guides are friendly, knowledgeable and experienced and share in your passion for the horses and shared activities. |
| Surfing Thanks to the boom in cold water surfing, recent years have seen an increase in surfers, body-boarders and canoe surfers at Pollan Beach. Facing the Atlantic head on, there are big waves most of the year. However, the same Atlantic-facing aspect also means that the strand is subject to prevailing onshore north-west winds for most of the year. Therefore, wave quality is good at Ballyliffin but sheltered spots are available in south Donegal and on the Causeway coast. Despite the number of water users, Ballyliffin is best suited for advanced surfers and is not recommended for beginners, because it holds several rip systems which are regionally renowned but are much understood. Ballyliffin holds some of the most photogenic sights a surfer could wish for as tumultuous waves crash in, some the size of houses. Many sightings of porpoise, basking shark and occasional sun fish and orca have been reported from Pollan Bay over the years, adding to the excitement of the world of surfing. |
| Malin Head Malin Head, your starting point on The Wild Atlantic Way in County Donegal is renowned for its rugged coastal landscape and attractive beaches. The area is steeped in history and folklore. Malin Head is an area for all tastes, including walking, fishing, swimming, photography, studying rock formations or rare flora and it is close to Inishowen’s splendid golf courses. Discover some of the largest sand dunes in Europe once you enter the Malin Head area via the coastal road, along the north of Trawbreaga Bay at Lagg. |
| Hill Walking Clonmany is nestled amongst rolling hills which gives us numerous hill walks. On many of these walks you can view right over Inishowen and the Atlantic Ocean. Maps can be obtained at the hotel reception to guide. |
| Glenevin Waterfall Where better to start than right next door to The Glen House at one of Inishowen’s most spectacular natural attractions. The walkway from the gardens of The Glen House takes you upstream along the meandering stream to Glenevin Waterfall. Along the way there are a number of picnic areas and vantage points with stunning views of the surrounding coast and countryside. |
