Killahoey beach is popular for walking, swimming, wind surfing, pony trekking and kite flying.  There are also fine beaches at nearby Portnablagh and at Marble Hill. Tramore Strand is located on the other side of Horn Head. The fabulous and  totally unspoilt beach faces out to the Atlantic Ocean is an ideal venue for a bracing walk

Ideal Rambling and Hill Walking Terrain

There is plenty of opportunities for ramblers and hill walkers in this beautiful part of Donegal – coastal walks around the spectacular Horn Head Peninsula, woodland walks in the enchanting Ards Forest Park and hill walking in the North Donegal Highlands – Muckish Mountain provides a very scenic background to Dunfanaghy . The magnificent Glenveagh National Park is just over 20km from the holiday Home. This park has over 16,000 hectares (40,000 acres) of mountains, lakes, glens and woods, with a herd of red deer and the recently reintroduced Golden Eagle. A quaint castle is surrounded by one of the best gardens in Ireland, which contrasts sharply with the rugged surroundings.

The  Horn Head peninsula has been designated as an Irish Natural Heritage Area and a Refuge for Fauna (specifically sea birds). New Lake , which the holiday home overlooks, was formerly a salt water marsh but alterations to local sand dunes meant the marsh filled with fresh water and became a lake. Over time New Lake became a haven for seabirds and is now a Special Protection Area. The award winning Mill Restaurant is located on the shores of New Lake.

This luxury modern holiday home in a stunning  and private location close to the summit of Kill Mountain is an ideal holiday base for the holiday maker wishing to explore the beautiful  coastal region around Dunfanaghy in North Donegal
