Hornhead Loop

Reviewed By sflynn8 - Limerick, Ireland

Amazing views from here.It is well worth the short drive from Dunfanahy to see this natural attraction. The views in all directions are amazing. The road to the head is very narrow in places and there is not much parking when you get to the top.

Immensely enjoyed my visit to this fabulous gallery. Work had an international aspect as well as depicting the Irish landscape in a multifaceted way. My visit was all the more enriched by a personal sharing from artist owner whose work was really the star of the show.

Horn Head

Reviewed By C_and_H_11 - Dublin, Ireland

Horn Head had magnificient panoramic views in all directions. On a clear day you can see Malin Head to the east, Bloody Foreland to the west, Tory Island to the north west, & Mt Errigal & Muckish to the south. So this is a must on a trip to this part of Donegal.

Reviewed By R2945PLjaneb - Derry, United Kingdom

Felt like the only person on the planet - perfect challenge for a run from village, through sand dunes and then along the beach (hard to run on the sand!) to the left “to touch the rock!” and then back to village. Felt amazing!
