The Donegal region

In the north West corner of Ireland, Donegal and its wonderful coastline can be best described as rugged mountains sweeping down to the Atlantic where the many inlets host an array of glorious sandy beaches. The region is blessed with more than its fair share of spectacular links golf courses. The surrounding sea is a paradise for wind surfers and anglers alike.

Away from the coast the scenery turns to wooded glens nestled between rocky peaks. The most famous of these is Glenveagh National Park and Castle.

The Downings / Larganreagh area

North Donegal is a region of inlets and peninsulas. The fishing village of Downings is located on Rosguill Peninsula home to the Atlantic drive, a coastal route which follows a stunning scenic road around the peninsula. The views north over the Atlantic and westward towards Horn Head will live in the memory.

The village itself boasts a sandy beach sheltered from the Atlantic which slopes gently providing an ideal safe environment for children. The beach has a segregated area for water sports.

So what can you do in and around Downings?

GOLF - at the links of Rosapenna, choose from the Old course designed by no less a man than old Tom Morris himself or the newer Sandy Hills ranked 17th in Ireland (both 5mins), or cross the new bridge linking Rosguill to Fanad penninsula to Portsalon (30mins) or Dunfanaghy(30mins). A golfers paradise.
