Clough Oughter Castle is located on a small island on Lough Oughter, which is a complex maze of waterways, islands and ninety small lakes along the course of the River Erne. Lough Oughter itself is home to a huge variety of birds, to include mallard, tufted duck and in the winter months, wigeon and pochard. This little casle on the island looks absolutely impressive from the drone and it is a great place for camping as well in the summer.

Classiebawn castle close to the head of Mullaghmore on County Sligo's Wild Atlantic Way, was the holiday home of Louis Mountbatten, a member of the British royal family who was assassinated close by in 1979. The pair of standing stones erected on the ground below the castle would seem to support the reputed occult interests of Lords Palmerston, Ashley and Mountbatten.

You can actually not access the castle area as is it private land, however, you have great views from the shore. There are view great angles, my favorite once are from up the little hill on the right, with the road in the foreground and also from the bottom if you walk down to the rocks (this is only accessible during low tide)

It’s quite a thrill driving down to St. John’s Point Lighthouse, to see it looming at the end of one of the longest peninsulas in Ireland. Tullymore Lighthouse dates back to 1825 when the traders and merchants in Killybegs asked the Ballast Board for a navigation light on St. John’s Point to help ships navigate their way to safe harbour. After some delays, the approval was given in 1829 to start construction.

Kilometres from anywhere, a stay at St. John’s Point Lighthouse offers a one-of-a-kind getaway. Enjoy a stay in one of the two characterful lightkeepers’ cottages (Clipper and Schooner) managed by Irish Landmark Trust and experience the delights of wild and wonderful Donegal.
