Itinerary

Donegal, Bundoran & Wild Atlantic Way
Windswept with mountain passes, labyrinthine coastlines and picturesque towns, we explore the unspoilt highlights of County Donegal in the stunning north west of Ireland on this delightful break. We take in some of the breathtaking coastal scenery from different perspectives, including a cruise around Donegal Bay and a scenic drive along the Wild Atlantic Way, which struts proudly as the world's longest defined coastal route. We also admire the panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean from the incredible Slieve League Cliffs, soak up the magic of charming Bundoran and discover the history of the area with a fascinating visit to the Glencolmcille Folk Village.

Donegal, Bundoran & Wild Atlantic Way
Itinerary
Day 1
We catch the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin where our tour manager joins us. We continue onwards to our overnight hotel in the Dublin area.
Day 2 - Glencolmcille Folk Village & Killybegs
We start with a visit to Glencolmcille Folk Village. This living history 'museum' is a replica of a rural village offering a glimpse into life as it was for our ancestors. Next, we call at Killybegs, Ireland's largest fishing port with a scenic harbour and also famous for its tapestries and carpets.
Later we check in to the Abbey Hotel or the Central Hotel in Donegal, our base for the next three nights.
Day 3 - Donegal Waterbus Cruise & Slieve League Cliffs
We head to Donegal where we start with a leisurely cruise on Donegal Bay. Here we can spot the seal colony on Seal Island and admire the beauty of the Bluestack Mountains. Complete with a full commentary about the history, environment and wildlife of the area, this is a lovely way to take in the stunning natural beauty of Donegal Bay.
We then head to the Slieve League Cliffs, one of Ireland's best-kept secrets. We enjoy a guided minibus transfer to the Cliffs, rising almost 2,000 feet from the Atlantic, they are among the highest sea cliffs in Europe and offer outstanding panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Sligo Mountains and Donegal Bay.
Day 4 - Bundoran
Today we make our way to Bundoran, the most southerly town in County Donegal and a lovely seaside resort which has been delighting visitors for over two centuries. The Blue Flag beach is the perfect place to get some sea air, or why not enjoy some nostalgic entertainment at the traditional amusement arcades? There are plenty of cosy eateries on offer too, along with stunning coastal walks dotted with fairy bridges and a wishing chair.
Day 5 - Dublin (with optional guided tour £20pp)
Checking out of our hotel, we travel to Dublin where we spend an afternoon at leisure. There are plenty of historic sites, architectural splendours and iconic monuments to see from the oldest, Dublin Castle, to one of the newest, the Spire of Dublin. Or you may like to experience one of Dublin's traditional pubs - there are 1,000 lining the city's cobbled streets! We also have the option to join a locally guided tour of the city before spending the night in our hotel in the Dublin area.
Day 6
We check out of our hotel very early to catch the ferry back to Holyhead; therefore a voucher will be provided to enjoy breakfast on board. On arrival in Holyhead, we continue our journey home.
Due to ferry times, coach pickup times may be very early in the morning.
