RouteXpert Review This route is described in more detail in the northern part of Northern Ireland. The roads are fine, asphalted in hilly terrain with beautiful white beaches. The most eye-catching sights have been named and detailed information can be found on the www.
Giant's Causeway (RP2)
This is a vast walking area with characteristic coastline of mythical proportions. Extensive info including Wild Atlantic Way
Bushmills (RP3)
In Bushmills, the famous Irish whiskey distillery of the same name has been established since 1608 and can be visited.
Dunluce Castle (RP4)
At this ruin is a parking lot with cafe.
Mussenden Temple (RP8)
Is part of the Park National Trust - Downhill Demesne what to visit. For a photo opportunity; at RP8 you can drive up the beach and you have a beautiful view of Mussenden Temple.
If you want to visit the Inoshowen peninsula with Mailn Head (lighthouse at a rugged cape with swirling sea) then there are 2 options, or you take the ferry at Magillan (RP9), or you make the detour of RP10. Do count on an extra 100km. Do not forget the piece R238 between Buncrana and Fahan (or vice versa).
The sequel is via Letterkenny the fastest way to Donegal (city) and ends at the square in the center.
If you are staying in Donegal and you love Irish Traditionals, be sure to visit The Reel Inn where live folkloristic music is played every night.
