Swan Park Gate Lodge Buncrana

Swan Park Gate Lodge Buncrana - stylish 3 bedroom holiday home located close to centre of Buncrana and the wonderful amenity area that is Swan Park. This is the ideal base for your family holiday in Inishowen as it is within walking distance of the children’s play park on the shorefront, the coastal walk to Fr Hegarty’s Rock and Buncrana Leisure Centre. The front of the dwelling is securely gated and incorporates a small concrete yard to rear.

Buncrana

Buncrana is located at the mouth of the Crana River on the east bank of Lough Swilly. The town's Irish name means "Foot of the River Crana" and one of its delights is the walk under beech, maple and lime trees beside the brown waters of the River Crana. It is the principal town of the Inishowen Peninsula and has a wide range of shops, bars, hotels and restaurants. 

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 in Inishowen

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. The Crana is probably one of the finest salmon fishing rivers in the northwest and day licences are available from the local angling club.
