Introduction to Inishowen Peninsula

Buncrana, the peninsula's chief town, is 113km (70 miles) NE of Donegal Airport, 84km (52 miles) NE of Donegal Town, 19km (12 miles) NW of Derry, 145km (90 miles) NE of Sligo, 359km (223 miles) NE of Shannon, and 259km (161 miles) NW of Dublin

With its exotic name and far-flung locale, it is appropriate that, by popular acclaim, this rarely visited but much admired stretch of land is one of the loveliest sections of the country. To drive around the Inishowen is to traverse desolate seascapes, intimidating mountains, restful valleys, and impenetrable woodlands. This is a world apart, where residents treasure the legends of Ireland and still observe its ancient traditions. If you've made it this far, well done! You join the hardy, lucky few who have discovered the rugged, peaceful beauty of Inishowen.
