Tucked away in Ireland’s northwest, Donegal is a land of breathtaking natural beauty with a rugged coastline shaped over the years by the mighty Atlantic Ocean. There are spectacular mountains, majestic rivers and crystal-clear lakes, and a rich heritage where Gaelic language and culture still prevails. From Donegal’s largest market town of Letterkenny this Grand UK coach tour sees some of the area’s finest scenery, and also include a tour of the Antrim Coast, with a visit to Ireland’s finest natural wonder - the Giant’s Causeway.

SUNDAY
From local departure points we travel towards Scotland for our overnight stop.

MONDAY
Today we travel through Dumfries and Galloway to use the ferry from Stranraer to Belfast. From here we make our way to Letterkenny and five

TUESDAY
A free day at Letterkenny with the chance to explore from our town centre hotel, and perhaps visit the Gothic style Cathedral.

WEDNESDAY
A memorable full day circular tour takes us first by the Barnesmore Gap through the mountains to Donegal Town, a renowned centre for tweed and knitwear, then to the little touring centre of Dungloe, the principal town of The Rosses, recognised as one of Europe’s most beautiful coastlines. We continue via the village of Kincasslagh, which is home to one of Donegal’s most famous sons, Daniel O’Donnell, as we return through the heart of the Derryveagh Mountains, past the spectacular white peak of Errigal.

THURSDAY
A fascinating full day excursion to County Antrim, past the dramatic cliff top Dunluce Castle and Bushmills, of whiskey fame, to visit the unique Giant’s Causeway, said to have been the work of the legendary Celtic giant, Finn McCool. Learn about the Causeway at the Visitor Centre before returning to Donegal.

FRIDAY
A half day excursion to Derry, where you can walk on the walls which enclose the city centre, stroll on the River Foyle quayside and explore the revitalised shopping area (8 day tours only).
