ITINERARY | IRELAND<br />
STAGE 1<br />
Donegal<br />
Malin Head, at the very tip of the Inishowen<br />
Peninsula, is mainland Ireland’s most<br />
northerly point. With a subterranean cavern<br />
known as ‘Hells’ Hole’ and a natural arch<br />
called ‘Devil’s Bridge’, it a great starting<br />
point for the tour.<br />
WHERE TO STAY<br />
From Fanad to Inishowen and down to Slieve<br />
League, Rathmullan House on the shores of the<br />
Swilly is the perfect check-in while discovering<br />
beautiful Donegal. www.hhe.travel/rathmullan<br />
At a low tide you can spot the wreckage<br />
of the ‘Twilight’, which sank in 1889 while<br />
sailing to Derry. Make it to Banba’s Crown<br />
and you’ll discover the weather station<br />
where the first weather reports were<br />
recorded.<br />
Heading down to Fanad Head, the<br />
shoreline is etched with golden sandy bays:<br />
one particular highlight is Ballymastocker<br />
Bay, once voted the second most beautiful<br />
beach in the world.<br />
Rathmullan House<br />
Before continuing your Wild Atlantic Way<br />
route, you may want to make a detour<br />
to visit the National Park and Castle at<br />
Glenveagh. Greta Garbo, Clarke Gable and<br />
Marilyn Monroe all spent their holidays here<br />
during the golden age of Hollywood.<br />
