Why Donegal
The North West Coast of Ireland, Donegal, is one of the undiscovered gems of Ireland. It possesses some of the most spectacular, unique and unspoilt scenery in the country, and is a veritable paradise for hill walkers. Donegal has a long, spectacular coastline with extraordinarily dramatic coastal scenery, dramatic sea-battered cliffs, jagged rock formations, picturesque peninsulas, rugged headlands, not forgetting the long, sandy and often deserted beaches. If you travel inwards you come across an equally impressive and varied landscape – majestic mountains and rolling hills, verdant countryside, bog, forests, woodland and lakes. Donegal has also the two national parks, Glenveagh and Ards Forest Park. There is a wide choice of appealing walks in both parks.
Testimonials
Naomi Mihara
“Hi Seamus,
I hope you’re well! Sorry this is a very delayed email – I know Sato-san sent you the photo last week already – I just wanted to repeat his thanks for all your help over the weekend before last. We were really overwhelmed by the kindness and hospitality of everyone we met in Donegal, and in particular your help was invaluable. You were a brilliant guide and really informative! I really enjoyed spending time with you and Marie. I hope there will be another opportunity for me to visit Donegal and please get in touch if you come to London!”

Seamus this is a thank – you note from teachers and staff in Scoil Fhionáin for the very enjoyable and educational walks you brought the children on . 6th class said on their return from Loch Altán that it was the best school tour ever.

“Donegal is one of Irelands most beautiful counties with rolling hills and rugged coastline. There is very little tourism in the area compared to other parts of Ireland, and as a result its beauty is largely uncharted, which makes it even more alluring. If you want to discover all that Donegal has to offer and hear a few yarns along the way then definitely give Walking Donegal a go. You will not be disappointed.”
