The Donegal region
Inishowen is a peninsula, which is the most northerly region of land on the island of Ireland. It can almost be regarded as a county in it's own right with a land area of 884.3 square kilometers.
The word inishowen means island of Eoghain and the inishowen peninsula takes its name from Eoghain, one of the sons of a high king of Ireland known as Niall of the nine hostages who was based at "An Grianán Aileach" a fort that is among the oldest monuments in the entire country, with only the more famous New Grange in contention for this honour, which is a historic site not to be missed. Slieve Snaght is the second highest mountain in the Derryveagh Mountains area and the 142nd highest in Ireland.

Carndonagh area
This town is the home of one of the best known and probably most often visited monastic sites in the country. Situated just outside the town at a fork in the roads heading towards Buncrana and Ballyliffin is the high Cross of Saint Patrick.
According to the writings attributed to saint Patrick he founded a church on this site in 442AD and the cross itself is believed to date from the 8th century. To preserve it from the weather the site is roofed over, but open to the public. There are a number of plaques nearby which contain a wealth of information on the cross and surrounding area.
The most impressive sight to greet the visitor is the magnificent granite - built church, which towers above the town centre and diamond where four roads from the main compass points meet. Every single stone for this magnificent building was hand - carved and laid by Master Stone Masons from all over Ireland.
Carndonagh is where the main office of Inishowen Tourism is situated, our other Information Points being at the Lough Foyle Ferry Terminal at Greencastle and near Bamba's Crown, Ireland's most northerly point.
