The Rosguill Peninsula, home to Carrigart and Downings is a treasure trove of magnificent beaches, spectacular coastline, worldclass golf and historic landmarks. Flanked by Sheephaven Bay to the west and Mulroy Bay to the east, this lesser known region on Donegal’s north coast offers a unique quality of life with the bustling Gaeltacht villages of Carrigart and Downings perfectly situated to make the most of their stunning surroundings. The 13 km Atlantic Drive which starts in Carrigart and skirts around the peninsula to Downings offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, Muckish Mountain and the golden sands of Trá na Rossan beach, the peninsula’s jewel in the crown.

Downings is home to Rosapenna Golf Resort, one of the first in the world, and now boasting three links courses, the newest of which is ranked among the world’s top 100 golf courses. Outdoor enthusiasts can indulge their passions in a range of activities ranging from diving to horse-riding, surfing, biking, angling and endless walks along vast, deserted beaches. Between them, Downings and Carrigart – which are soon to be connected by a cycle greenway – and the nearby village of Glen, are home to some of Donegal’s best traditional bars and leading award-winning restaurants. There are two local primary schools, one of which is a Gaelscoil, and thriving GAA and Athletics clubs.

With easy access to Horn Head and the Fanad Peninsula, nearby are Doe Castle, Ards Forest Park and Glenveagh National Park. All of this is just a 30 minute drive from Letterkenny and an hour from Derry with several daily bus links.
