Donegal

Captivated by the Causeway Coast

Starting in Belfast and ending in Derry (or vice versa), the most special part of Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast route lies right in the middle as you reach the awe-inspiring cliffs and wondrous sites that include Dunluce Castle, the Giant’s Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge.

Fermanagh’s Fabulous Lakes

Fermanagh’s Lakelands are up there with some of the best lakes in Ireland. The expansive lakes, spreading from Lower to Upper Lough Erne, will easily take up a day or two of exploring. Discover the historic treasures of the lakes’ Islands and take a peaceful walk along its stunning shores before visiting Belleek Pottery, the Marble Arch Caves or Enniskillen Town.

Deadly Donegal

It would be hard not to be taken aback by the rugged and otherworldly roads through Donegal, passing sheep, epic mountains, golden beaches and soaring cliffs along the way. Popular spots include Malin Head (Ireland’s most Northern point), Fanad Head Slieve League, Mount Errigal, as well as the popular urban centre of Letterkenny and the stunning Inishowen Peninsula.
