A must sea when coming to Aghadaghly Cottage! Fanad Lighthouse is one of the world's most beautiful lighthouses and is located within the Donegal Gaeltacht on the wild and windswept Fanad peninsula. Enjoy guided tours (or stay solo) but all the while you will be soaking up rugged Donegal in the most beautiful ways.

Voted one of the most beautiful lighthouses in the world the trip across the peninsula to see it is almost as beautiful. To get there start off with a left towards Carrigart. You'll see a sign for Kerrykeel and the Harry Blaney bridge about 4 KM's along the road on the right. Once you're over the bridge follow the signs for Fanad Head / Lighthouse. Park up and stroll down to the lighthouse where you can walk right round and take in the spectacular views. I like to come back through Kerrykeel and Milford. Some beautiful views along the water.

FANAD HEAD LIGHTHOUSE (25 mins drive from Caoghlan Cottage – passing Ballymastocker Bay on the way) • Cionn Fhánada on the Fanad Peninsula lies between Lough Swilly and Mulroy Bay on the north coast of County Donegal. The Fanad Head lighthouse sits on the western shore of the Peninsula. It can be accessed on road via the Knockalla Coast Road with its panoramic views across the estuary looking towards the Inishowen Peninsula and the Atlantic Ocean. As the road ascends you are greeted at the top by one of the most splendid views in Ireland. Looking down on Portsalon and Ballymastocker Bay it is no surprise that this beach has been voted 2nd most beautiful beach in the world. A haven for water sport enthusiast, golfers and walkers alike, it offers it all. Fanad Head lighthouse sits on the western shore of the Peninsula and was voted the world's 2nd most beautiful lighthouse after Lindau Lighthouse in Germany by Metal Floss in 2013. The Lighthouse is the second most Northerly lighthouse in the Republic of Ireland and locals say that Fanad Head lighthouse is slightly higher than the Eiffel Tower, however, I think it depends on the wind! From the lighthouse carpark you can stroll along the headland in awe of the high waves and the Wild Atlantic Way's most rugged stretch of coastline. With the backdrop of the lighthouse its an ideal photo opportunity for the holiday album. Cionn Fhánada and lighthouse can also be viewed from the sea with Rathmullan Charters who operate sightseeing and historical tours as well as bird, sea watching and relaxing evening cruises along Lough Swilly from their base in Rathmullan.

This has been voted one of the best lighthouses in the world. Give yourself plenty of time in this coastal corner. Time to take in the sensational scenery and really explore the wild and wonderful natural world around you – this area is regularly visited by whales, porpoises and dolphins. Breathtaking views along the way. This route is famous for the Donegal International Rally. If you wish to shorten your drive you can take the car on Ferry from Buncrana to Ráthmullan and then enjoy the amazing Fanad Drive with scenery you will never forget.
