Anybody been walking around Buncrana area?
« on: November 27, 2012 »
Hi - Heading to the Buncrana area of Donegal in a few weeks and fancy taking in a little walking.

I know there is the Shore Path walk but wondering if anyone has done any more interesting walks in the area?

Don't mind travelling a little to get a better spot of required.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

There is a cracking-looking ridge walk that is only 14km from Buncrana.

Raghtin-Mamore-Urris ridge walk

Do that one and I'll be very jealous  ;)

Thanks Hunter -we are staying about 1/4 mile down from the Fort of Dunree - would that be close to a decent starting point?

Cheers
