the Slab Road, you may notice that it’s particularly flat. If you were standing there 200 years ago, you would either be stuck in the mud or buried under the water of Lough Swilly. The surrounding farmland was reclaimed from the sea over 160 years ago and eventually developed into some of the richest farmland in the country. If mythology isn’t your thing, travel from Bridgend towards Burnfoot along the R238, passing the small village of Burnfoot where you will see signs for Inch Wildlife Reserve on the left hand side of the road before reaching a slip road which connects to the island. If you are making the pilgrimage to Grianán of Aileach, know that it is a steep climb that will take 20 to 30 minutes extra to complete.

Island is a birdwatcher’s paradise – due to its wildfowl sanctuary, the whooper swan, Greenland white fronted goose and greylag goose can be spotted roaming around. Leaving the island, head for the blue flag Lisfannon Beach to watch or take part in a spot of wind or kitesurfing. The town of Buncrana follows after a further 20 minutes travel time. With plenty of places to rest up, great food and drink and a vibrant music scene, it’s the perfect spot to kick back and spend the night.
