Description
We have teamed up with the amazing Turas Cartha to offer you a fantastic package that includes Bed and Breakfast at Carrick Gate, as well as the Discover Sliabh Liag tour, offering a unique opportunity to connect deeply with the rugged beauty and authentic culture of South West Donegal. This isn’t just a sightseeing trip; it’s a journey through the real Donegal, where stories, landscapes, and traditions come to life.
From your beautiful base at Carrick Gate, you’ll experience Donegal’s landscapes and heritage firsthand with Turas Cartha, a private chauffeur tour that takes you to the heart of this untamed region.
Tour Highlights:
- Sliabh Liag Cliffs – Stand at the edge of Europe’s highest sea cliffs and take in the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean below. With exclusive stops only a local guide can offer, you’ll experience these cliffs through stories and insights that connect you to the land.
- Hidden Villages and Local Crafts – Travel through the picturesque villages of Kilcar and Glencolmcille, where Donegal’s textile and weaving traditions are still practiced. Visit local artisans, hear stories of the craft, and feel the history woven into each piece.
- Quiet Beaches and Scenic Spots – Discover Donegal’s secluded beaches like the Silver Strand, where the calm beauty and untouched sands offer a quiet escape. Pause to take in the views, go for a peaceful walk, or relax and let the scenery soak in.
- Ancient Sites and Forgotten Places – Visit archaeological sites like stone circles and monastic ruins, where the history of this landscape is revealed. These are places that many visitors miss, but they provide a true sense of Donegal’s ancient past and resilient spirit.
- Optional Authentic Experiences – Tailor the tour to your interests with authentic add-ons like a local sheepdog demonstration, an informal music session. These options give you a glimpse into Donegal’s culture beyond the guidebooks.
Tour will last 4 – 4 ½ hours but can vary depending your needs.
