Donegal Boardwalk Walk
This walk follows the boardwalk trail in the Donegal Boardwalk resort on Sheephaven Bay in County Donegal.
The walk takes you to the attractive Carrigart beach where there are some lovely sea views to enjoy. You can start off from the good sized car park and then head north to the beach. There's also a fine cafe for refreshments afterwards.
To continue your walking in the area head west to pick up the Muckish Railway Walk near Falcarragh. This trail takes you along the old Letterkenny to Burtonport railway line in the Derryveagh Mountains.
