Inch Island

|
Inch Island is connected to the
mainland by a narrow causeway and is largely fertile on it's eastern
side while its western side has steep mountain sides and a a coastline
punctuated by little harbours and a few sandy beaches. This is an area
of outstanding natural beauty and is largely undiscovered as a holiday
destination within Donegal. A 20 min. drive southwards takes you to
the historic City of Derry while Inishowen's main town,
Buncrana, is a
15 min. drive to the north. There a few very good restaurants in the
village of
Fahan and a fabulous sandy beach. |

A birdwatcher's paradise.
Inch Island, a small island connected to the mainland, in Lough Swilly, is
home to an important population of migratory birds and wintering
waterfowl. Three species, Whooper Swan, Greenland White-fronted Goose and
Greylag Goose, occur in numbers of international importance. This is the
area where the swans make their Irish landfall in autumn on their return
from breeding grounds in Iceland and there are some excellent vantage
points from which to view these majestic birds.
The hugely historic Inch Castle which dates back to the 15th Century and
is connected with the flight of the Earls, can also be explored on the
island. There's a fine sandy beach on the south western shore and with
some scenic drives, Inch Island makes a great place for a relaxed outing.
