Popular places to visit
Derry City Walls
Walk beside the fortified ramparts from the 1600s that have survived several sieges and offer panoramic views of the Maiden City.
Malin Head
When you visit the breathtaking Malin Head on northernmost tip of Ireland, you’ll soon understand why the tourist trail here is called the Wild Atlantic Way. At the peak of the Inishowen Peninsula, Malin Head offers some of the most indomitable views you will ever see over the northern Atlantic and its geological marvels are second only to the Giant’s Causeway Coast.
Glenveagh National Park
Blanketed in forests, mountains, woodland and water meadows, Glenveagh National Park is one of the primary attractions in County Donegal. The park is particularly popular with hikers, owing to its combination of untamed natural beauty, challenging trails and sculpted gardens – the latter of which are part of the 19th century Glenveagh Castle. The park covers an impressive 66 square miles of countryside.
Millennium Forum
Opened in 2001, the Millennium Forum in Londonderry is not only one of the city’s major venues, but also one of the biggest purpose-built theatres in Ireland.
Donegal Castle
You can learn about the history of Donegal with a trip to Donegal Castle. Visit the lively bars or top-notch restaurants in this relaxing area.
Marble Arch Caves
The Marble Arch Caves are a glistening, glittering, eerie experience where visitors can explore the depths of one of the best cave networks in the UK.
