Trip Overview
Created by: Louise Kavanagh
The rugged and beautiful wilderness of Northern Ireland and County Donegal is a corner of Europe that the rush of the modern world has overlooked.
Our route takes us along the Causeway Coastal Route and the iconic Giant’s Causeway and along the northern edge of Ireland to the dramatic mountains and glens of the Donegal, finishing at Slieve League, some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe.
After exploring the wild Causeway Coast and Giant’s Causeway, we head into one of Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel destinations, County Donegal. With its rolling mountains, soaring cliffs, white sand beaches, infinite bogs and timeless villages, Donegal is as romantically remote today as ever before. We’ll explore coastal headlands rich in wildlife, hike through remote hills awash with myths and legends, and retire to comfortable, characterful lodgings each evening.
