Errigal

35 minutes by car

Donegal’s highest mountain, and the most photographed peak in the county. Pair the climb with a stop at the Poisoned Glen and Dunlewey’s lakeside church.

Errigal is Donegal’s highest mountain and its most photographed, a sharp white cone of quartzite that catches the light for miles around. The climb is short, but it is steep.

The path climbs steadily over scree to a narrow summit ridge with huge views over the Poisoned Glen, Dunlewey and the coast. Pair the walk with a stop at the lakeside church below.
