SCENES from IRELAND

The road down to Ballyliffin Beach

	Ballyliffin and Pollan Beach, Inishowen Peninsula, Co. Donegal, Ireland: Ballyliffin, Inishowen Peninsula, Co. Donegal, Ireland. Mamie Pat's Bar in the Ballyliffin Lodge Hotel and Spa is good stop off place for a bar meal. Through the doorway you look down to the safe and lovely Pollan Beach, on which to take a stroll after some refreshment or take a picnic

The Ballyliffin Hotel was a good spot for lunch before descending to the beach.

All the cars and coaches parked up for lots of visitors to the Doagh Island Famine Museum on page03.

The small solitary tower of that remains of Carrickabraghy Castle on Doagh Isle.

Looking out across Pollan Bay.

Looking inland from the north end of Doagh Isle.

Nothing but the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Doagh Island and a last view before heading back to the Lough Swilly Ferry at Buncrana.

Buncrana harbour with a few battered old fishing boats but a modern looking lifeboat..

The ferry from Rathmullan coming in on an atmospheric evening over Lough Swilly ...

... and a very pleasant cruise back over to Rathmullan despite the 'threatening' weather system which subsided with precipitation!

and so bye bye Buncrana and Inishowen and back to our holiday house in Rathmullan.
