Going along the north coast of Inishowen 100 touring route, rural scenery mesmorising.
There a few more wonderful golden sand beaches, both long and wide, dotted the shore, Culdaff beach, Tramore bay, Kinnagoe bay.
At Magilligan Point, a narrow strait separating north and south Ireland.
Nearby
is Greencastle, a big fishing port and the only place in this Inishowen
area where we can get hold of decent seafood. It is at Foyle fishermen
coop at the harbour where we are able to buy turbots and squids, really
fresh and at wholesale price.
The east coast of Inishowen is not very interesting and we cut across back to the west coast and stay at Inch Island Walkway area. Inch island sounds small, but is a serious agricultural area, with huge wheat fields probably because the middle of the island is like a plateau, an ex-flat seabed, suitable for large scale farming.
Found a well made loop walk/cycling trail along the shore of Inch Island, joining up old railway tracks. There are good views of both lake and sea with many swans, herons and wild geese, it is a wild fowl sanctuary.
