water pump29 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Rathmullan and Ballyboe is a cast-iron hydrant from around 1910. I bet the foundry worker in Kilmarnock never imagined his fluted shaft would end up guarding Lough Swilly views here.
Rathmullan FortBattery, barracks · 52 ydExplorer Tom Rathmullan Fort is a former coastal battery built around 1813, featuring a bombproof barrack and D-shaped gun platform near the coast.
An Bonnán BuíRestaurant · 107 ydExplorer Tom An Bonnán Buí is a restaurant with a name that means 'The Yellow Boat' or something similar. Probably serving food that tastes like the ocean floor. Find it and see if the boat metaphor holds up in reality!
The White HartePub · 124 ydExplorer Tom The White Harte in Rathmullan is right by Kerrs Bay, likely watching boats go by. It's a pub with a name that sounds like a unicorn. Go ask for one, but don't be surprised when you get a pint instead.
RathmullanOfficial bathing water · 391 ydExplorer Tom Rathmullan Beach starts at the pier and keeps strolling past Kinnegar toward the Glebe outcrop. If sand could wear walking boots, this strip would be lacing them up. A 2019 Lough Swilly report also notes otters among the wildlife; I would leave any real otter sighting to patience and luck.
Wych Elm483 ydExplorer Tom This sturdy Wych Elm in Donegal is a sight to behold, so verify if permission is needed.
Inch FortCastle · 1758 ydExplorer Tom Inch Fort had room for nine guns! Six out in the open and three hiding inside. It feels like a giant version of my bedroom where I hide under the bed but leave the door wide open.
Rathmullan Wood Nature ReserveNature reserve · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Rathmullan Wood Nature Reserve is a quiet, protected green space in County Donegal, ideal for gentle forest walks.
Crevary Upper Court TombCourt tomb · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Crevary Upper Court Tomb stands as a mysterious stub on the pasture, just west of Rathmullan. The old records claim a massive five-metre gallery once stretched here, but today it’s mostly vanished. Two tall jambs remain, staring out across Lough Swilly like they’re waiting for the rest of their body to turn up.
Brown’s PointHeadland · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Brown’s Point stands as a quiet headland in County Donegal, perhaps named after someone who once watched the sea from there.
Possible Chambered GravePublicly named tomb or grave · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Not on official maps, but this looks very much like a chambered grave right here on Inch Island.
InchIsland · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Inch Island in County Donegal is visible from Grianan of Aileach, a significant island dotting the dramatic landscape.
