Lonely Planet’s Top Places to visit includes Donegal
Why Is Donegal Ranked 4th as Best Region In The World To Visit?
With the longest coastline in Ireland and more than 100 beaches, you may find yourself the only person on a deserted strand in Donegal. The northernmost Irish county is purely wild with a big heart. Here you’ll find the highest sea cliffs in Europe and miles of unspoilt coastal hiking trails along the Wild Atlantic Way. Ancient forts, musical traditions and rich heritage of the Irish language also make it perfect for the curious visitor.
