Errigal Mountain is one of the most
popular and sporting hill walking
climbs in Ireland. The ascent to Errigal
in Dún Lúiche is clearly marked and
this climb can be started at
Mín na gCapóg near Dún Lúiche.
Even though Errigal is the highest peak in Donegal it is a relatively easy climb and the visitor will be rewarded with a panoramic view of the three neighbouring parishes on reaching the summit.
Other popular mountain climbs include Slieve Snaght, An Mhucais and the Poison Glen. Slieve League is spectacular and should not be missed as it has the highest sea cliffs in Western Europe
Ionad Cois Locha (Dunlewey Lakeside Centre)
Ionad Cois Locha is situated on the shores of Dunlewey Lough, at the foot of Errigal Mountain and in the shadow of the haunting and mysterious Poison Glen.
The centre is based around the homestead of a famous weaver, Mánus Ferry, where in the middle of the nineteenth century he perfected his craft of tweed making and overcame the hardships that faced most families, using the wool of his brother's sheep, that grazed the surrounding mountain bogland.
Mánus's house has been reconstructed to give the visitor the full flavour of home life in Donegal at that time. A good place for the children - Enjoy a boat trip on the lake at the foot of Errigal Mountain or the adventure play area, pet anamals, restaurant and excellent craft shop.
There is a 9 hole Golf Course at Machaire Gathlán, Gaoth Dobhair. The modern clubhouse provides all the necessary facilities. The course is open all year to visitors on payment of moderate green fees. Other 9 hole Golf Courses situated nearby include Gailf Chúrsa Oileán na Cruite (Cruit Island Golf Club) and Gailf Chúrsa Chloich Cheann Fhaola in An Fál Carrach (Cloughaneely Club in Falcarragh).
This area is a fisherman's haven with ample facilities available for fresh water fishing and deep sea angling (see links page for details). Indeed why not try catching some Salmon or SeaTrout fishing on the riverbank of the campsite which borders the Crolly (Gweedore) River for 150 metres.
