located in north Inishowen and has one of the finest golf courses in
the country. The village has three hotels, a shop and Post Office
while a short walk takes you to the spectacular Pollan Strand with
its powerful Atlantic waves.
Nearby attractions include the popular Doagh Island Visitor's Centre which tells of life during famine
times in north Donegal. At Christmas time the centre becomes Santa's
Island drawing large crowds to this area to experience the truly
unique and magical show.
Self Catering in Inishowen A small island off Pollan Bay called
Glashedy is located roughly one mile off the coast. The English
translation of the name is the Island of the Green Cloak derived
from the layer of grass present on the top.
Throughout the ages
various ships have become wrecked near to the island, which provide
rich fishing grounds and also contributed the rat population to the
island. The nearby Isle of Doagh (no longer separate from mainland)
is also worth a visit.
