Inishowen tour

The Inishowen peninsula is one of Ireland’s untapped gems and can be easily covered in one day from Derry. We depart in the morning via the Victorian resort of Buncrana taking the Inishowen 100scenic route past Dunree military museum (which we have the option to visit). We travel through the breathtaking Mamore Gap,1000 feet above sea level and past Dunaff Head. We pass through the picturesque market village of Clonmany and Ballyliffin en route to the Doagh Famine Village where the story of famine, fear and eviction is recounted along with traditions like the old Irish wakehouse (tea and coffee available). We then travel through Carndonagh and Malin Town to Malin Head, Irelands most northerly point where we visit Banbas Crown to take in the spectacular scenery and hear of the many shipwrecks in the area. Lunch will be available at the Malin Hotel or in Culdaff, a lovely 17th century plantation town on the east of the peninsula. We then continue on the Inishowen 100 to Kinnegoe Bay to hear of the ill-fated Spanish Armada ship the Trinidad Valencia and the recovery of the many artefacts that it held. We return to Derry via Greencastle (with the option of visiting the maritime museum) via Moville where the sad story of emigration during the famine is recounted. All along we will entertain you with storys about the eccentric Bishop Hervey, the last duel in Ireland, the illicit trade in poteen making and much much more!
