explore the exciting Rosguill Peninsula. The Peninsula, which
projects out into the Atlantic between Sheephaven Bay and Mulroy
Bay, offers some of the most spectacular views in all of Ireland. Travel
along the scenic Atlantic drive and see for yourself the majestic cliffs,
seascapes, beaches and glorious headland views. Linger awhile at
Na Dúnaibh (Downings) - with its splendid golf on Rosapenna's 18-
hole course and with fishing boats, golden sands and more Donegal
Tweeds reflecting all that is rich and colourful in this Donegal
Gaeltacht. Here during the summer you can watch locally caught
salmon, lobster and crab being landed in the harbour. The beautiful
crescent shaped beach, fronting Downings village, has won a
national blue flag and is an ideal place to relax. The village is a
central place from which to explore the Peninsula, with readily
available accommodation. Walk along the prehistoric sandunes
between Downings and Carraig Airt (Carrigart), visit Doe Castle of the
MacSweeney's and peaceful Carraig Airt, a picturesque village with
Victorian architecture that adds to its unique character and charm.
(Fanad Head) and beach, to marvel at the splendour of the Knockalla
coast road on Lough Swilly and the Dolmen at Gorthavern, to drink in
the culture, character and ancient history of this lovely peninsula,
perhaps to play a final game of golf on Portsalon's 18-hole links.
