Attractions In The Area
The location of the Bay View Hotel is ideal for those who want to explore the breath-taking attractions the area has to offer. This is the perfect base for travelling around this beautiful part of Donegal.
Sliabh liag Cliffs
These are the hightest sea cliffs in Europe and we are delighted that they just a short 30-minute drive away from the hotel. Slieve League soars to 601 metres (1,972 ft). Although less famous than the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Slieve League reaches almost three times higher.
Experienced walkers only should venture beyond the viewing point onto One Man's Pass which loops around onto the Pilgrim's Path.
This is a sacred mountain, for over a thousand years there was a Christian pilgrimage. You should remember this when visiting, so please do not disturb these monuments of Irish cultural heritage. There's much to know about Sliabh League, like the monks who went to Iceland or the eagle and the baby. To learn more visit the award winning Slieve League Cliffs Centre which is all about local culture, food and crafts served with a real warm Donegal welcome and sense of humour.
Fintra Beach
Fintra Beach is a beautiful Blue Flag beach just a couple of kilometres outside Killybegs, where you can swim and enjoy the strand with its stunning views across Donegal Bay to the mountains of Sligo.
Fintra receives large numbers of day-trippers during the summer months and is also used by the local community.
It is a very sheltered beach and is lifeguarded throughout the bathing season.
KILLYBEGS CARPET MAKING & FISHING CENTRE
The centre offers a unique experience in the Fishing and Carpet making history for visitors who venture to the shores of this picturesque town situated on the Donegal coastline.
Three reasons to visit the Killybegs International Carpet Making & Fishing Centre
Where else would you be able to…
Stand in the actual Carpet Factory which once designed, dyed and thread wool by hand-knotters, and produced world-class Donegal Carpets that can still be seen in such places as Dublin Castle, The Oval Room at the White House, the Vatican, Buckingham Palace, stately homes, and foreign embassies throughout the globe.
See the largest hand-knotted loom in the world, view live demonstrations of how hand-knotting is done, and also have the opportunity to test your own skills at the loom
View the largest fishing fleet in Ireland in its natural harbour, the home-place of the Atlantic Dawn, which was one of the largest fishing vessels in country; step into the boots of a fisherman via the Bridge Simulator replica of a boat wheelhouse, and experience the virtual reality of the ocean.
See their website; http://visitkillybegs.com/ for more details.
