Property information

Located along the Wild Atlantic Way and overlooking the Trawbreaga Bay and the Isle of Doagh, Madra Rua is the perfect place to set up your base camp to explore the delights of the Inishowen peninsula and its wild scenic coastline, part of the North West Region of Ireland, the most northerly area in the country. Madra Rua is another way of saying Sionnach (fox in Irish language) what recalls the original name of our townland of Ráth Sionnaigh (Rashenny) which means The Fox Fort. Our surroundings offer assorted places: cliffs, forests, beaches, lakes and mountains, all surrounded by the Atlantic ocean and the sand dunes, and also gorse and heather. Ever-changing with the seasons, hours and weather. You'll be able to observe the changes of the landscape with the seasons and the stars and northern lights in the sky. Ideal whether it's for pleasure, family gatherings or special occasions, our house is conveniently located to enjoy a wide range of attractions and festivals available in the area: Ballyliffin Golf Club (2 Km), Isle of Doagh Famine Village (6 Km), Clonmany Music Festival (5 Km), Tullagh Bay (equestrian centre and surf school)... just to mention a few of them.

Neighbourhood information

There's something here for everybody: Hiking, trekking, walking, horse riding, cycling, surfing, swimming, playing golf, fishing, angling... Come and get closer to nature or immerse yourself into the ocean. County Donegal is rich with culture: language, music and tradition. You'll find many local crafts-makers, small art galleries, historic houses, summer festivals, Gaelic football games... Find the traditional music sessions in the local pubs and enjoy a pint of Guinness. Visit the Walled City of Derry, in Northern Ireland. Boat trips with or without your car: you can cross the River Foyle by ferry from Greencastle to Magilligan Point, in Northern Ireland (where you can follow the “Causeway Coastal Route until the “Giant's Causeway” and visit a few places where “Game of Thrones” was filmed and Bushmills distillery, the oldest in Ireland, or you can cross the River Swilly from Buncrana to Rathmullan and drive to Dunfanaghy and enjoy the stunning views from the Horn Head. And follow the R2D2 road to Malin Head, the most northerly point of Ireland, where a few scenes of “Star Wars” were filmed and, in your way around Inishowen, remember: “Drive safe you must" (As Yoda would say).
