2025 County Donegal Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

By far one of the nicest national parks i've ever been to. Glenveagh national park is located in Donegal County, Ireland. To get here, you have no other option but to drive. The walk to the castle is very nice and the garden is simply beautiful! You can rent a bike at the start as you walk into the park which makes moving around faster. I would definitely visit back Glenveagh national park if I return to Ireland again. Highly recommended! It’s also free admissions, so always feel free to wonder around! #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #summervacation#hikingtrails

If you come to Ireland, you should definitely go! Introducing the highest hill in Europe with a spectacular view🌟 Slieve League (Sliabh Liag) in Ireland is a super scenic spot in County Donegal, Ireland, and is known as one of the highest sea cliffs in Europe. It is about 601 meters high! ! Access About 4.5 hours by car from Dublin. About 1 hour by car from the town of Donegal. It is recommended to see sheep walking on the road and relaxing on the hills🐏❤️🔥 The souvenirs are also very cute, so don't pass them by and take a look🤭 A breathtaking view. It's really worth seeing. Come to Ireland and heal your mind and body🫶 #ireland #spectacularview #ireland

#getgoing2025 Magilligan Point, Ulster, Northern Ireland This beach is at the very tip of the Magilligan Foreground, a place which has been declared an Area of Special Scientific Interest thanks to the ever-changing nature of its 20-mile stretch of dunes, which each shift and reform with the winds. However, one thing that remains constant here is the Martello tower rising in the distance. Though this rather stumpy landmark may look like the ruins of a fairytale castle, it was built in the early 1810s as a watchtower to protect against Spanish invasion; this spot was chosen for the building due to its vantage point over both Magilligan Point and the Donegal coastline across the water. Today, it makes the ideal picnic spot to shelter from the wind and take in the spectacular views.

If you visit Ireland in the summer, be sure to climb Mount Eregar in Donegal, a place of great nature ⛰️ The air is so clean, and if you like mountain climbing, you can easily climb it, and even a beginner like me was able to climb it in 2 hours! The ground is padded, so you don't have to worry about slipping or finding your footing while climbing 😉

This pier is called Mountcharles Pier. Amazing views and great for swimming in no matter what the weather is! On a nice day, you can watch for yourself a beautiful sunset here. Many of the locals go here to have a jump and swim around, though the water is freezing, even in the summer, they will still do it anyway! Irish will always be Irish I guess 🇮🇪 Believe me, even in the winter, you can also see some swimming in there. Around the area, you can also see beautiful green fields with cute animals, which make it even more fun especially if you have kids! It’s an open space for public, so no entrance fee or anything! 🏝⛅️🏖🌊🌟⛅️ #solstice #urbanexplorer #summervacation #beachvacation #summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

This beautiful road is located in Donegal if you want to go all the way to Killybegs and so on. It’s basically a valley between a hill range which connect those 2 places. It’s such a beautiful road and view, especially if you pass during the sunset time where the sky will turn orange or sometimes even purple in this part of Ireland! You can definitely stop and take some pictures with a beautiful landscape. Many people also like to cycle here or even have a jog when it’s not too cold and rainy, because sunny days can be quite rare in Donegal. You can also hike a bit on those hills around to get a better view! 🌨🌟✨ #roadtrip #urbanexplorer #summervacation#hikingtrails

Ardara and the Loughros Point Peninsular are situated just a step away of many spectacular things to explore in Ireland. It’s in Irish, and in English it would sound like Lookout. The Lookout Ardara is 2.7 miles from the centre of Ardara in Donegal County, Northwest of Ireland. It’s a very nice place to have a walk along the little hill and the beach, especially on a nice weather. Make sure to prepare a wind breaker jacket as Ireland is always very windy! if youre lucky, you can also spot some cute sheep along the hills nearby 🐑 💨🍃🏝🌤#nationalpark #urbanexplorer #summervacation#beachvacation

Slieve League is not famous at all compared to other touristy places in Ireland. But to me, it was one of the most beautiful one compared to the Giants Causeway or Cliffs of Moher. It is located in Donegal County, Ireland. It is actually quite hard to reach this place, as it is located high on a cliff. You will have to get your own car and drive here. #HalloTrip
