Dunree Head

Dunree Head is a headland on the western shore of the Inishowen peninsula in County Donegal, standing above the entrance to Lough Swilly with wide views across the water and out towards the open sea.

The headland combines coastal scenery and wildlife with a long military past, as the commanding position over the lough made it a strategic point for coastal defences. It suits walkers, photographers and anyone interested in the history written into Donegal’s coastline. Bring warm and windproof clothing, and take care near cliff edges and unfenced ground.
