Buncrana

The town of Buncrana is a mere ten minute walk away, and you will find a choice of shops, supermarkets, pubs, banks, restaurants, and other service providers and retailers to satisfy your needs.

A four minute walk should get you to the nearby Tullyarvan Mill, - a renovated picturesque 19th century corn mill situated on the banks of the Crana River. It is now a community, cultural and hostel centre. The nearest restaurant is also located here, and is well worth a visit.

 The town has a modern, fully equipped Leisure Centre complete with heated indoor swimming pool. Close to the Leisure Centre, along the seafront walk, a new kids play area with an all-weather surface, has recently been built and this superb free facility can provide hours of entertainment for children of all ages.

Golf

For the golf enthusiast there is a small 9 hole course within the town boundary while the 18 hole course at Lisfannon is a short 5 min. drive along the coast.

There is also the world famous Ballyliffin course with its two links some twenty minutes drive to the north. The Crana is probably one of the finest salmon fishing rivers in the northwest and day licences are available from the local angling club.

Walkers will enjoy rambling along the banks of the river, and there is a well laid out path at Swan Park. A spectacular coastal walk can be enjoyed which starts from the old castle bridge and follows a path along the shoreline to Neds Point, Porthaw Beach, Fr Hegartys Rock, and ends at Stragill Beach.
