Duration: 6 hours - 7 hours
Service animals welcome

Situated between the Mulroy Bay and the glacial fjord Lough Swilly is the Fanad peninsula, one of Ireland's best kept secrets. On this tour, I will transport you along the winding, coastal roads towards Fanad Lighthouse, one of County Donegal's Wild Atlantic Way signature points. Here you can stroll along the grounds of a functioning, historical Lighthouse, taking in the views of the ocean and bird life. On your journey, I will enthral you with stories and legends of the peninsula. Learn about the creation of 'Football Special', Ramelton's answer to Coca-Cola. Visit Rathmullan, the site of one of the most important events in Irish history, 'The Flight of the Earls'. Then cross the politically placed 'Bridge to Nowhere'. We'll walk the ruins of Doe castle which overlooks Sheephaven bay and hear of the clan that built it. This tour is held in a fun, relaxed way with plenty of photo opportunities, music, (bad) jokes and features coast, castles and Craic!
