Local Amenities

One of the best things about Donegal is the wide choice of activities that it has to offer. Downings offers two fabulous beaches, one of which is recognised as an EU Blue Flag Beach, ideal for children as the water is very shallow. Numerous caves and rock pools are just waiting to be explored and both beaches are a short walk from the house.

Kite and wind surfing are popular activities in Downings, along with cycling, mountain biking, hill and beach walking, horse riding, deep sea angling( local charters available), fishing, pitch and putt, not to mention sampling the fine food and wine in the many local hotels and restaurants / pubs, which are within walking distance of the house.

The recently opened Magherabeg Leisure Centre is also within walking distance of the house and offers an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and gym. There is also an indoor soft play area called Kidz Kingdom, popular with younger members of the family on wetter days.

Nearby Carrigart offers a PADI approved Diving School at Mevagh Dive Centre, offering some fantastic family fun days.


Surrounding area

Atlantic Drive, a spectacular road around the Rosguill Peninsula, provides breathtaking views of the classic, rugged Donegal coastline, facing onto the magnificent Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Drive itself is approx 12 km long and is quite simply a must do when in this part of Donegal.

Glenveagh National Park is located in the heart of the Derryveagh Mountains and is a remote and beautiful wilderness of rugged mountains, deep glens and pristine lakes.
