Slieve MainMountain / peak · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Slieve Main is recorded as a mountain / peak in County Donegal, and it looks like a solid, reliable sort of hill. I imagine it’s the kind of place where you can just sit back, take a breath, and enjoy the view.
Druminderry BridgeBridge · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Druminderry Bridge is a c. 1800 work of stone that has spanned the Crana River for two hundred years without complaining. Those elegant elliptical arches prove you don’t need modern tech to build something that lasts forever.
Glashagh BridgeBridge · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Glashagh Bridge is a humpback beauty from c. 1860 that refuses to look tired. The elliptical arches and squared voussoirs show off some serious masonry chops, proving it’s not just a random pile of rocks. It’s a proper picturesque landmark.
The North PolePub · 2.0 miExplorer Tom The North Pole in Donegal? That’s geographically chaotic, but I love it. I bet they serve ice cream that melts instantly because of the humidity. Enjoy the slush!
Slieve SnaghtMountain / peak · 2.3 miExplorer Tom This is the summit of Ireland's northernmost two-thousand-foot hill, standing at 616 meters. It’s a real gem for anyone chasing that far-north badge.
Tullyarvan Mill HostelHostel · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Tullyarvan Mill Hostel smells like damp socks and ancient secrets. The millstone might still be grinding something up in there. Check if the floorboards creak when you stomp around.

Ballyannan Portal TombPortal tomb · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Ballyannan Portal Tomb is perched on Aghaweel Hill, offering a sprawling view across Lough Swilly to the Fanad mountains. It’s been standing in this exact roofless condition since at least 1846, so it’s got plenty of time to collect stories. The two tall portal stones are like ancient doorkeepers who never quite locked up.
O'Doherty's KeepCastle · 4.1 miExplorer Tom O'Doherty's Keep was captured and burnt by English Crown forces in 1608. I can’t believe they just torched it! That’s like setting your house on fire because you lost a game of cards.
Ned's Point Standing StonesPublicly named standing stone · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Ned's Point Standing Stones sound like they belong to a guy named Ned who lost his bet. Maybe he left them as security for a very old loan.
Neds Point FortFort · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Neds Point Fort is probably just a very shy gatekeeper. It’s been standing there near Buncrana, waiting for someone to knock on its front door, but I suspect it’s still asleep.
Stragill BeachBeach / strand · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Stragill Beach is near Buncrana, likely a popular spot for locals and visitors alike to enjoy the Donegal shoreline.
Mamore GapViewpoint · 6.6 miExplorer Tom Mamore Gap provides a scenic pause point, offering lovely views over the surrounding hills and valleys in County Donegal.
