A 20 minute drive from our home, Slieve Liag & its surrounding area is stunning with its rugged cliffs rising over 600mtrs from the sea & is not to be missed. Take a boat trip with Paddy from Teelin Pier to see the cliffs from the sea or just simply walk or drive to the viewing point at Bunglas or the Pilgrim path. Don't forget to stop off at the Rusty Mackerel for a wee bite to eat or just a coffee!

A 30min drive from Teach Jim through Carrick village to Glencolmkille take the road to the left to Malinmore/Malinbeg... A lovely drive & both Malinmore & Malinbeg have stunning views out to Rathlin O'Beirne & when you reach the Silver Strand beach(great for a swim) with over 160 steps down you won't want to leave... A walk down to the pier & out to the tower in mainbeg is well worth while!

Only a 5 minute scenic drive or 20 minute walk from our home is Muckros Head. It's a small peninsula that is picturesque against mountain slopes, with views of Slieve Liag, Cró Mhucros, & across Donegal Bay to Sligo & Mayo. Its vertical cliffs are suitable for climbing, fishing & has a lovely beach Trá Ban. Stop off for a cuppa & a treat in Memory Lane Teahouse!
