Visit Doe Castle in Donegal
A 6-minute drive from the resort, you will find Doe Castle. This is the ancient seat of the Mac Sweeney Chiefs of Doe, situated on Sheephaven Bay in northwest Donegal.
The castle stands on a small peninsula called Cannon Point. It is protected on three sides by the sea and a trench hewn from solid rock on the fourth side.
Take a trip and visit Ards Friary, Donegal
The church and friary were built in 1966 on the site of the old Ards House. This very peaceful place is located 12.5 KM from the resort.
Ards Friary is set in mature woodland near the northeastern tip of the Ards peninsula. It also has a selection of exotic trees.
To the small pier south of the friary, coal and other goods were delivered. Silica sand was also exported, which was mined on Muckish Mountain.
Enjoy the Atlantic Drive in Donegal
The Atlantic Drive is a short but very spectacular road around the Rosguill Peninsula. It encapsulates the dramatic marriage of two natural elements – the ageless land of Donegal and the timeless courtship of the Atlantic.
The Atlantic Drive has forged a glorious alliance of great beauty. As it is only about 12km around, the Atlantic Drive is also perfect for a walk or cycle. This is the best way to appreciate the gorgeous views.
