25. Inishowen Peninsula Day trip
Take N15 north to Ballybofey and get on N13 north towards Letterkenny and Derry. After Speenoge, look for signs for the Grianan of Aileach. It's a cool ring fort built around 1500 BC, located on top of the hill (visible from the road!). From there, head back out on N13 towards Derry. Turn on R238 towards Buncrana. At Burnfoot, turn onto R239 towards Muff. At Muff, turn north onto R238 towards Moville. From there, you'll follow the coast of Lough Foyle on R241. You can stop and check out Greencastle. Keep on going until you reach Stroove, and there's a little parking lot just west of the lighthouse. There's a neat little beach here with potentially perfect waves, fun rocks to clamber about on, and if you're lucky, you can watch some seals swimming around and watching you! It's about 76 miles from Hilltown to Inishowen Head, the beach.
