Inishowen

Inishowen is a golfers paradise which hosts five golf courses within a 20km radius. A must for the tourist to this area is the Famine Village, an insight into Ireland long ago, well worth a visit.

The "Inishowen 100" is a drive which takes the visitor on a roughly circular tour of the Inishowen Peninsula, and gets its name from the distance of 100kms, the approximate distance covered if the whole trip is completed.

Activities

Some of the activities include; Hill Walking, Scuba-diving, Surfing, Golf, Fishing, Bird watching. For the golf enthusiast, the well known Ballyliffin Golf Club and course is a 15 min drive from here. Other golf courses are located at Greencastle, Redcastle and Buncrana.

Near Ballyliffin (and the golf course) on the beautiful Isle of Doagh, a visit to the Isle Of Doagh Visitor Centre is to be recommended. This unique outdoor museum tells the story of life in this area going back to the Great Famine in the 1840's. A Famine Village and typical dwellings such as Sod or Turf houses from those times can be seen here. The centre transforms to Santa's Island in December drawing children from all over Ireland to experience a truly memorable encounter with Father Christmas
