Day 3 - Donegal & Belleek Pottery
Donegal Town is an attractive, bustling town overlooking Donegal Bay on the Wild Atlantic Way. In the very heart of the town, towering over the River Eske, stands Donegal Castle, a fifteenth century fortress where you can uncover the fascinating stories of medieval Gaelic lords. The Diamond market square is a great place to start exploring the abundance of shops, restaurants, and heritage attractions that Donegal has to offer.
We then continue to Belleek Pottery, home to the world-famous pottery. The museum houses pieces dating back to 1857 when the pottery first started, and remains just as popular today.

This morning, take in the breathtaking scenery as we travel along Donegal’s coastal route to picturesque Killybegs, a charming harbour town and fishing port.
Later we continue to the majestic Slieve League, nearly three times the height of the Cliffs of Moher and the highest cliffs in Europe. Wild and dramatic, these cliffs tower above the Atlantic Ocean, and offer incredible views that make you feel as though you’re at the edge of the world!
