Let’s discover what’s on our doorsteps in amazing Donegal

There's never been a better time to be a tourist in our home county - and Donegal Tourism has launched an exciting competition and special offers to make staycations even sweeter.

Can you name the three Signature Points within Donegal that are along the Wild Atlantic Way?

They are:

1. Malin Head

If this question has aroused an interest in you as to how familiar you are with Donegal, good news is on the way! 

As the country moves on to the next stage of its remarkable response to the global pandemic, Donegal Tourism invites you to discover what’s on your doorstep. 

With summer is in full swing, there has never been a better time to explore the county and avail of a host of fantastic bargains that are now on offer.  From the immense outdoor spaces and local amenities that are once again accessible to the public, to the fantastic promotions that many hotels and tourism providers are now offering, it may be time to take the homeschooling outdoors or to brush up on your own local knowledge and history of our great county. 

Cllr Rena Donaghey,  Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council stated “There is so much to explore without leaving Donegal – our amazing beaches, rugged coastlines, spectacular landscapes, historic sites and monuments, and welcoming offshore islands; not to mention our fantastic food and accommodation offerings. 

“In this unprecedented era of Zoom quizzes and social media challenges, perhaps it is time to set yourself the challenge of visiting some of the world class destinations that are closer than you think but were perhaps too close to consider, or to ask yourself if you have fully explored this amazing county surrounding you.”

Donegal Tourism is now launching many fantastic packages within their website to promote Internal Tourism for those living in Donegal, who wish to explore more of the county. These packages will provide you with special rate offers on activities, accommodation and food. 

Once you have made the decision to get out and about, be sure to take your camera to capture the many magical moments you will experience. The Go Visit Donegal Facebook page is running an exciting new photography competition in which top ten images will qualify for the 2020 Go Visit Donegal Photograph of the Year Grand Final.

Prizes will include a Canon Camera, and five €100 vouchers for each municipal district in Donegal – Redcastle Oceanfront Golf & Spa,  Clanree Hotel, Jacksons/ Villa Rose, Harvey’s Point, Waterfront Hotel.

So now is the time to reconnect with our county, be kind to others, respect social distancing, and marvel at the wonders that are on our doorstep. For further info, go to govisitdonegal.com/donegal-offers
