Excursion Inishowen & doagh famine village tour at Greencastle

Discover one of the most beautiful and historic locales in Ireland during this panoramic, half-day excursion of the Inishowen Peninsula.

Inishowen Peninsula

Leave the pier and drive along the Inishowen Peninsula. This long, broad finger of land stretches north to the Atlantic and is Ireland's northernmost point. The Inishowen Peninsula is arguably the most beautiful area in all of Ireland. Relatively undiscovered by most visitors to Ireland, Inishowen is a world apart, where present-day residents revere their ancient heritage, treasure the legends and antiquities of this remote region, and still observe many traditions of their ancestors. During your drive around the Inishowen Peninsula, traverse a ring of seascapes, mountains, valleys, and woodlands.

Doagh Folk Village

Next, a visit is made to the Doagh Folk Village. Upon arrival, relax with coffee, tea and scones, and learn about the customs, traditions and history of the people of the Inishowen Peninsula. A 'Famine Village' has been recreated, offering a unique, a first-hand account of hardships endured at that time in Irish history. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the drive back to the pier.
