Introducing Fanad Peninsula
The second-most northern point in Donegal, Fanad Head thrusts out into the Atlantic to the west of Rosguill. The peninsula curls around the watery expanses of Mulroy Bay to the west, and Lough Swilly to the east, the latter trimmed by high cliffs and sandy beaches. Most travellers stick to the peninsula’s eastern flank, visiting the beautiful beach and excellent golf course at Portsalon, and the quiet heritage towns of Ramelton and Rathmullan. Accommodation is relatively limited, so book ahead in summer.
