This stretch of the Slí An Earagail long-distance trail follows a quiet country lane, providing lovely views of rural Donegal countryside. This is a Gaeltacht (Irish speaking) region of the country where proud traditions and customs are still practised.

A charming townland on Donegal's Atlantic coast, An Bun Beag (often Anglicised to Bunbeg) has much to offer the walker. A stroll to the beach reveals the enchanting Bád Eddie shipwreck, one of the region's iconic sights. It forms the foreground to another icon, the distant Errigal, one of Ireland's most recognisable mountains. The village and neighbouring Doirí Beaga (Derrybeg) are home to a few accommodation options and places to eat and drink.

The gravel trail along the south shore of Lough Nacung and on to the River Clady is popular with both hikers and cyclists. The views towards the rugged quartzite peak of Errigal are magnificent along this stretch. Few mountains in Ireland are as shamelessly photogenic.

Superbly situated at the foot of mighty Errigal in the fabled Poisoned Glen, Dunlewy has much to offer the intrepid hiker. There's the Lakeside Centre at Dunlewy Lough for meals, information and boat trips on the lake. A hike up to the spectacular twin summits of Errigal is a must for keen hillwalkers. The village has a number of accommodation options, including the Errigal Hostel.

Delightful Dunlewy Lough is dominated by the majestic peak of Errigal. From here, the mountain appears as a great scree-covered dome, not the intimidating pyramid it appears as from the north. To the south-east is the spectacular glacial scoop of the Poisoned Glen, scene of a legendary battle between the sun god Lú and the supernatural Formorian pirate Balor.

A beautiful view of the Irish Fujijama. Near the hotel on the road there are a few archaic round stone posts which, together with the water, provide a beautiful foreground.

The Causeway between Dunlewey Lough and Lough Nacung Upper is a prime viewpoint for Mount Errigal.

The highest mountain in the Derryveagh range, Errigal peaks at 715m. It is also the tallest of the 'Severn Sisters' and in county Donegal. It's iconic shape makes it one of the most photographed places in Ireland.
