Overview

At the top of Northeast Donegal is Inishowen, Ireland's largest peninsula. On this Wild Atlantic Way tour, I'll show you around part of the peninsula's 100-mile coastal drive known as the 'Inishowen 100'. On your journey, you'll see the glacial fjord, Lough Swilly, which inspired the hymn 'Amazing Grace'. You'll learn the ancient celestial secrets of Grianan of Aileach ring fort, seat of power of the chieftains of Ulster. I'll recount the tragedy of the SS Laurentic and its undiscovered gold near Fort Dunree. You'll travel through the nerve-racking Mamore Gap and defy physics on the 'Magic Road'. A visit to Doagh Famine Village will have you step back in time, hearing how life used to be in the area. Your day culminates in a galaxy far, far away by reaching Malin Head, Ireland's most Northerly point and the filming location of Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. The tour is in a fun, relaxed manner, with plenty of jokes, tall tales and the odd song too!

Activity itinerary

Grianan Of Aileach
  • 20m
An Inishowen tour usually begins or ends with a visit to An Grianan of Aileach, a majestic ringfort in Burt, Inishowen dating back to the sixth or seventh century. The hillfort overlooks Inishowen, Co. Donegal on one side and Co. Derry on the other.
Buncrana
  • 30m
Ancestral home of former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Tip O'Neill
Fort Dunree Military Museum
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Located on the West side of the Inishowen peninsula, the scenic drive to Fort Dunree alone is as breathtaking as the view from the fort. Historically a coastal defence fortification, Fort Dunree is now a military museum with many restored guns as well as exhibitions about the area's birds, marine life and coastal vegetation.
Mamore Gap
  • 10m
Mamore Gap is a steep, narrow road along the Urris Hills. A viewing point at the top offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding countryside. There are holy relics to be found including a holy well devoted to Saint Eigne as well as a ‘Magic Road' or ‘Gravity Hill'.
Doagh Famine village
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Experience how families and communities lived in the original thatched cottages in rural Ireland. The guided tour also include an Eviction Scene, Orange Hall, Republican Safe House and Irish Wake House.
Knockamany (Pass by)
Views of the reputed highest sand dunes in Europe
Malin Head
  • 20m
A visit to Malin Head, Ireland's most northerly point, is a real buckret-lister. Go where the larger coaches can't - right to 'Banba's Crown', the northernmost tip. Experience the unique rugged landscape that was the filming location of the recent ‘Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi’.
