A 5 min drive from Killybegs on route to Sliabh Liag. This is a beautiful place a stunning site of natural beauty, but please be careful, you need to have the proper walking footwear as you will be walking on extremely slippy rock and only visit if you understand the tide times!

One we have done so many times and always see something new and amazing, every time. Known as one of the highest sea cliffs in Europe, just ______ Kilometers from here. There is no doubt that it is one of the most magnificent views in Ireland. just breathtaking, the stunning series of mountains and cliffs at Slieve League soar into the sky, especially on a clear day. One mans path is a must, but not for the faint hearted. Also guided tours are available but must be booked in advance. 

 On the way you can stop at:

St Johns Point: Experience sheer coastal Atlantic beauty, flora, fauna and unique geology with distinctive geological rock formations beyond the lighthouse!

After Slieve League, you can continue on route to...

Its worth the drive, stunningly secluded bay, one of my most favourite spots for a swim after the 174 steps down to the beach. Most beautiful for sunrise or sunset.
Replica of typical Irish rural village, showcasing the heritage culture and ingenuity of the local population
Pause and admire it from the top (enjoy an icecream here in the summer months!) before taking the windy road through the valley! Breathtaking!

Near the village of Ardara, close to the roadside so you don’t have to leave your car. Just nature at its best!

Some stops you might like to do on the way!

Just 10min drive off to right as you head on the main road towards Ballyshannon, another beautiful setting, especially when the waves are crashing against the rocks at the pier. A favourite spot for ourselves, jumping off the pier at full tide or taking the kayaks out.

Creevy Pier cliff walk takes about 1 hour 30 min. This trail takes you along the stunning coastline on clifftop path (includes uneven surface, soft ground, loose stone and cattle in the fields)
