🌊 Welcome to South West Donegal

Discover South West Donegal on the Wild Atlantic Way

South West Donegal offers one of the most breathtaking stretches of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. From the vibrant fishing port of Killybegs to the cultural heartland of Glencolmcille, this region is rich in natural beauty, heritage, and traditional charm.

Explore the lively village of Kilcar, known for its handwoven tweed and coastal walks, and nearby historic Carrick, the gateway to the majestic Slieve League Cliffs—the highest sea cliffs in Europe. The coastal hamlet of Teelin sits at the foot of the cliffs.

Further west, Glencolmcille is a haven for walkers, artists, and those seeking authentic Irish culture, with its folk village museum and scenic looped trails. Each town and village along this route offers a warm welcome, deep traditions, and unparalleled Atlantic views.

Come and experience the wild beauty of Donegal’s southwest coast—untamed, unforgettable, and uniquely Irish.
