An amazing journey of discovery awaits you on Donegal’s Wild Atlantic Way.

Standing between idyllic Lough Swilly and sandy Mulroy Bay, Fanad Lighthouse has been voted one of the most beautiful lighthouses in the world.
With its location in the Donegal Gaeltacht (an Irish speaking area) on the eastern shore of windswept Fanad Peninsula, it’s little wonder that this lighthouse is a Wild Atlantic Way highlight.


Give yourself plenty of time in this coastal corner. Time to take in the sensational scenery and really explore the wild and wonderful natural world around you – this area is regularly visited by whales, porpoises and dolphins. Learn more about Fanad Lighthouse and this remote, rugged area in the cosy visitor centre. Or to truly get away from it all, enjoy a relaxing stay at one of the characterful lightkeepers’ houses.
Learn more about Fanad Head Lighthouse and this very special area in the Visitor Centre at the lighthouse.
