Nearby Attractions
Doagh Famine Village
Doagh Famine Village, near Ballyliffin in Inishowen, is without doubt one of Donegal’s most memorable attractions. When I first visited in 2025, I was completely taken aback by just how powerful and engaging the experience was. Returning again in 2026, I found it even better.
Wild Alpaca Way
Wild Alpaca Way is one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after you’ve left the hillside. Set high above the Inishowen Peninsula, with the Knockamany Bens rolling behind you and Malin Head and the vast Atlantic ahead, every step feels like walking through a living postcard.
Wild Atlantic Adventure Centre
The Wild Atlantic Adventure Centre is one of the newest and most exciting additions to Co. Donegal’s activity scene and that’s exactly why I chose to include it in my latest book. This family-run venture, led by the Devlin family, is all about teamwork, energy and adventure.

The Keg
The Keg Bar in Clonmany is a wonderful example of how a much-loved village pub can be brought back to life. Formerly known as Briney’s Bar, it has undergone an impressive transformation, proudly returning to its original name, The Keg. The food offering is refreshingly simple and perfectly suited
Happy Landing Bar & Restaurant
Hidden away, just a few miles outside Derry, the Happy Landing is a good find, embraced by locals who know great food when they find it. Having dined here with a friend in late 2024, I knew instantly it deserved a place in my Top 100 Attractions on the Island of Ireland book.

The Well Bar & Grill
On the road from Derry towards the Causeway Coast, The Well Bar & Grill in Ballykelly is a destination well worth stopping for. Recommended to me by countless people, it has now earned a place among my Iconic Pub Status venues, and one visit makes the reasoning perfectly clear.
