We were at 'Sleepy Hollows' campsite on the west coast of Donegal for 5 nights - lovely site and lovely owners - Nic and Ian - would definitely recommend. Fantastic area for scenic landscapes and the sea looked so inviting - we dipped our hand in, expecting it to be absolutely freezing, but it was not, surprisingly. Cold yes, but not freezing. We still didn't venture in though!
Glenveigh National Park includes the Derryveigh Mountains which are really rugged, good for hiking, and surprisingly, there is a castle in the middle. It dates back to 1867 and has had some interesting owners and stories to go with them.
Phil hiked up the volcano look alike, Mount Errigal (751m), in very windy weather, late PM before we left the following day. The view sitting on the top of the very windy summit was amazing, just before the rain set in for the descent.
