Cyndi Graham Handweaving

Reviewed By Aussieonadventures

We happened along this wonderful studio 3 years ago during our 2 week trip around Ireland. It still sits so clearly in my mind. Wonderful atmosphere, the craft of weaving in such traditional means with extremely old looms was fascinating. A highlight of our trip and Cyndi was so generous with her time.

Inishowen 100

Reviewed By M-P7

One of the most spectacular drives I have ever experienced. The scenery cannot be caught on camera it has to be experienced. We were lucky that the weather was amazing so we saw this magnificent county at its best. It's a gem that needs to be advertised more. I will certainly be back.

Hornhead Loop

Reviewed By sflynn8 - Limerick, Ireland

Amazing views from here.It is well worth the short drive from Dunfanahy to see this natural attraction. The views in all directions are amazing. The road to the head is very narrow in places and there is not much parking when you get to the top.

Malin Head

Reviewed By C_and_H_11 - Dublin, Ireland

Malin Head is the most northerly point in Ireland & boasts fabulous views in all directions - & if you're lucky even the Northern Lights can be seen at a certain time of the year! There are pathways which lead to different points on the head & we're happy to say new public toilets have been erected since our last visit here. Malin Head is a must see when in the area!

Newmills Corn and Flax Mill

Reviewed By angmcg1

Pleasant afternoon, short intro film followed by very informative tour. The mill is small, but very nicely restored. Makes a nice short stop. Loads of parking.

Bunbeg Wreck (Bad Eddie's Boat)

Reviewed By seamusmurphy - Letterkenny, Ireland

I was working in the area and took a walk down the beach to see Bad Eddie which is the remains of a once proud half deck trawler. Known as half decker for their class of fishing boat. It was abandoned here on the beach years ago and at night it makes a great photographic subject. Sadly only half of the wreck remains after years of abuse by the elements. I wondered how much longer it will remain. This is a lovely beach and it is quite shallow so you will be walking for ages before you get your knees wet. Safe for kids. A beautiful place overshadowed by another wreck the modern looking Ostan Hotel which fell foul of the recession. It has been closed up for a good few years now. It would be nice to see it reopening. The views of Bad Eddie and the sea are astounding from their rooms I am sure.
