County Donegal as a wider area to explore

There is a fully mapped route for exploring County Donegal, with sections on and off the main roads that highlight many of the county’s attractions. When planning your trip, you can distinguish the Grassroutes offering in Termon—bike hire and guided tours—from the fully mapped route for exploring County Donegal.

The history of Donegal Castle is also part of the wider County Donegal area. The castle was the personal stronghold of Red Hugh O’Donnell, Lord of Tír Conaill. Guided tours tell its story, from the time of the Gaelic lords through the Plantation and its long period as a ruin to its recent restoration. Illustrated treasure hunts are available for children. Check the availability of tours before travelling.

Another option is Glenveagh National Park and Castle, with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, valleys, native oak woodlands and castle with original interiors. Visitors can see red deer there and look out for reintroduced golden eagles. Glenveagh also offers a Trail Walker Bus to some of the best walking-trail starting points; check its availability before travelling. The two regional destinations offer different experiences: Donegal Castle brings history to life with guided tours and illustrated treasure hunts for children, while Glenveagh combines scenery and wildlife watching with a Trail Walker Bus to some walking-trail starting points.
