the Inishowen Peninsula and the county of Donegal itself, you will find an abundance

few of the attractions in the nearby vicinity which Foody's Lodge highly recommends
visiting.

across to the mountains of Derry. While on the other side, equally spectacular
views up into the Carrickmaquigley Hills Of Donegal.
Grianan

Situated just
2km off the N13 Letterkenny to Derry road the Grianan is an ancient stone ring
fort. It was the ancient hilltop fortress of
the McLaughlin and O'Neill Kings of Ulster before it was destroyed by Murtough
O'Brien in 1101 A.D. and subsequently abandoned. The view overlooks Loughs Swilly
and Foyle from the top of Grianan Mountain . It was partially restored in 1870. |
| Culdaff
has a population of approx. 200 people;contains three pubs, three shops, a hardware
store and a post office (for those of amathematical nature, that's one pub to
every 66 people!) Free from traffic jams with no such thing as a "rush hour",
except at closing time, Culdaff is a ideal place to switch off and relax. |
