find holiday homes in St John's Point
|
St. John’s Point is
at the end of a narrow peninsula which juts into Donegal Bay, south
of the village of Inver. The Lighthouse at St. John’s Point provides
a vital service to the fishermen of southwest Donegal, along with
its sister lighthouses on Rathlin O’Beirne Island and on Rotten
Island at the entrance to Killybegs harbour. In the locality, you
will find the remains of times long gone. Everything from Standing
stones to an old castle. From an old Friary, to no less than twelve
ring forts. Drive along the peninsula for approx. 8 kms until you
come to the beach. Park the car, and you can walk in either
direction. The walk towards the lighthouse is rewarding with
magnificent views of Donegal Bay, the islands and the surrounding
coastline. |
