Island Roy - Oileán Ruaidh

Island Roy, or Oileán Ruaidh, is a small island on the County Donegal coast, lying in the sheltered waters near the Rosguill and Fanad peninsulas. It is a quiet place of low fields, shoreline and sea views, with little in the way of development.

Visitors come for the walking, the birdlife and the wide outlook across the surrounding bay and hills. Access depends on local conditions and arrangements, so check before setting out, and be prepared for rough ground and changeable Atlantic weather.
