- Donegal Castle: The well-preserved 15th-century Donegal Castle is an imperious monument to Irish might. Apart from a place to hide from the rain, the castle’s Great Hall is quite the treat with its ornate fireplace, French tapestries and Persian rugs. Guided tours available hourly.

- Rossnowlagh Beach: Home to the local surfing club, the beach offers water sport activities like surfing for those brave enough to tackle the Atlantic Ocean in October. Lovely for a walk to cure the hangovers too.

- Sliabh Liag: Despite the Cliffs of Moher’s publicity , these spectacular sea cliffs are among the highest in Europe, over 600m. From Teelin, a road through the stark landscape leads to the lower car park (with hiking signs) beside a gate in the road; drive another 1.5km to the upper car park (often full in summer) right beside the viewpoint. Take a trip to the Rusty Mackerel Restaurant for a bite of food after!

- Glengesh Pass: On a narrow road from Glencolumbcille to Ardara, past remote mountain bogland lies the pass carved out by old glacial forces. Numerous spots and viewpoints available to pull over and take in the epic scenery. Why not stop into Nancy's for a drink on your way!
