Glashedy
View Cottage, named after Glashedy Isle, a prominent barren rock jutting
out of the surrounding waters of Pollan Bay; and a visible feature of
the area. (click on 4th thumbnail image below.) Situated in the village
of Ballyliffin, popular for its well known golf club and course, the
cottage faces spectacular views, with Malin Head, Pollan Beach, Doagh
Island, the golf course, and Trawbreaga Bay all in sight. The perfect
location for visiting golf enthusiasts, Ballyliffin is well known, but
locally, other courses are also to be found at Buncrana, Greencastle and
Redcastle, - and all within less than half an hours drive.
This desirable cottage is not only for golfers, but anyone who enjoys
the unspoilt beauty of the Inishowen Peninsula. For the hill walker,
this is an excellent base for local walks. An especially recommended but
little known walk, is along the impressive coastal cliffs of Binion
Hill, just west of Pollan Beach, which itself is a beautiful, unspoilt 2
mile stretch, and only 3 minutes walk away.
Another nearby attraction not to be missed, is the Isle of Doagh Visitor
Centre. (Near the golf course.)
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. A Mass Rock, Presbyterian Meeting House
and Orange Hall are also part of the display. The Irish Famine was at
its worst between 1845 to 1848 causing the population to drop from 8 to
4 million through death and emigration. During June, July and August, Singers, Musicians and Dancers
perform. From Mid November to 24th December the centre transforms and becomes
"Santa's Lapland"; an absolute must for young children.
Space does not permit us to list all the attractions and activities of
this unique part of Ireland; instead we would invite you to come and see
for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
