Trail Guides

Discover Inishowen; the jewel in Donegal’s Celtic Crown and the beginning or the grand finale of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Explore Inishowen by using our Trail Guides to find some of the most scenic and iconic landmarks that the peninsula has to offer.

Follow the Heritage Trail as it meanders off the beaten track, (created in collaboration with the Sliabh Sneacht Centre), revealing prehistoric burial chambers and rock art, Celtic crosses, forts and castles.

Let the Walking Trail guide you along gentle coastal paths, take a peaceful moment by Glenevin waterfall or trek the highways and byways of breathtaking mountain walks.

Pick up the Beach Trail; discover stunning stretches of golden sands, comb for natures treasure in hidden coves, swim in the crystal clear waters of the Wild Atlantic Ocean.

Let yourself be captivated by the history, heritage and landscapes of this ruggedly beautiful region.
