Derry, or the Maiden City as it's sometimes called, the second largest city in Northern Ireland is only 30 minutes drive from Greencastle, situated about 25 miles south, along the shores of Lough Foyle. A very interesting city with it's famous City Walls, Museums, Theatres, Restaurants as well as good shopping.

With the Foyle car ferry just across the road and a 10 minute trip across to the County Derry coast, Greencastle is the perfect base to explore Donegal but also the renowned beauty of the North Coastline.  You can visit the world famous Bushmills Distillery, The Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle or Carrick-a-rede rope bridge.
