Wild Atlantic Way — Donegal

The literature coast
In 1976, Leon Uris's epic book, Trinity was published. The book tells the story of the intertwining lives of the Larkins, Catholic hill farmers from the fictional town of Ballyutogue in County Donegal; the Macleods, Protestant shipyard workers from Belfast; and the Hubbles, representatives of three centuries of Anglo-Irish aristocracy. For his Donegal research, Uris based himself around Quigley's Point and Redcastle, doing his "research" in McGowan's pub.

DP - Inishowen Head
Stroove beach (sometimes mistakenly called Shroove) is situated right on the northeastern tip of Inishowen, this great blue flag beach is where Lough Foyle enters the Atlantic. Across the way you'll be able to see the headlands of Northern Ireland - that iconic tower is the Mussenden temple.
By the beach car park, you will see a looped walk - this is well worth taking as the views from the old fort alone are stunning - you've a good chance of seeing some birds of prey here too.

DP - Magilligan Fort View
Magilligan Fort View is in Craignamaddy, one of the greatest viewpoints you'll find in Ireland. Iconic architect Liam McCormick lived nearby and marveled daily at this sight. Hear Sean tell you what you're looking at on the audio piece from left to right, with the help of Beethoven.

DP - Kinnagoe Bay
One of the hidden gems of the peninsula. To those in the know, there is beautiful beach within the bay sheltered by steep hills offering spectacular views. It's the location point of the Spanish Armada ship, La Trinidad Valecera, shipwrecked in 1588, a popular site for divers.
