Chapter 40 : A guided tour of North West Donegal with Seamus Doohan of www.walkingdonegal.net
Episode 40 : A guided walk with Séamus Doohan.
Meet Seamus Doohan. Seamus is a full time electrician and has a passion for the outdoors. A few years back, he established Walking Donegal.net Since then Seamus has shown thousands of people from all over the World, the beauty of his native Donegal. Seamus is also an artist and says that the inspiration for his paintings comes from the landscape that he encounters while out walking.
Seamus is also a mine of information when it comes to the history, mythology, geology and the flora & fauna of the area.
We spent a day with him and he took us to several locations around Falcarragh, Gortahork, Dunlewey, Mount Errigal and Lough Altan. Unfortunately we could only feature just a few in this video, so this is just a taste of the walks and sights in this part of Donegal.

Cnoc Fola - Bloody Foreland
Cnoc Fola - or Bloody Foreland - takes it name from the way in which the setting sun enhances the natural red of the granite cliffs. It is a dramatic headland right at the northwest corner of Donegal with wonderful coastal scenery on either side. Along the north coast there are views of Tory and Inishboffin Islands as well as the spectacular Horn Head Peninsula. Hugging this coastline are the small villages of Magheroarty, Gortahotk and Falcarragh. On the other side of Bloody Foreland is the rugged Gweedore coastline with numerous small harbours, fine beaches and several islands including Gola and Innismeane. Bunbeg and Derrybeg are the main towns here.
The rugged landscape that surrounds the holiday home is ideal terrain for the keen walker or cyclist. Lovers of the Irish language can also feel at home by immersing themselves in the music, language and traditions of the North West Donegal Gaeltacht. The area is rich in culture, tradition and is an ideal location for a range of outdoor activities including golfing, diving, surfing and fishing. The coastal roads on either side of Bloody Foreland are part of Ireland's new long distance driving route -- The Wild Atlantic Way.
Glenveagh National Park
The majestic Glenveagh National Park in the heart of the Donegal Highlands is just over 30km away. This park contains a quaint Scottish style Castle, visitor centre, wonderful gardens and 16,000 hectares of mountains, glens and lakes. Just 22km from the holiday home is the beautifully situated Dunlewey Center. This cultural and family activity centre is on the shores of Dunlewy Lough and has Mount Errigal as an imposing backdrop.
