I have rode in Donegal before but your route guides allowed me to explore the county even further. Was stopping near the top of Donegal so did daily rideouts rather than follow the WAW. I recommend a circular route around Inishowen starting from Greencastle taking in Malinhead, Mamore gap and Inch island and then returning on the R238 with the views of Lough Foyle on your right shoulder. Terry PS the gate was back on at Slieve League Cliffs. Hi Denis

There was some sort of construction going on thet last time I was up there, maybe that was the purpose of the gate. Hope your enjoying the trip and the weather is being kind..

It's hard to beat the beaches in Donegal for shear beauty when you catch 'em on a sunny day. Cheers for the info, it's alway good to know of a biker fiendly hotel. I'll update this post and put The Nesbitt Arms in for others following the route. With a bit of luck I'll have a chance to visit The Nesbitt Arms later in the year myself as I'll be heading up that way again in September.. Safe riding, Denis Hi Dan,

Antrim (Causeway Coastal Route). Had an absolutely fantastic time I had no idea Donegal had so many world class beaches! I have been to Donegal hundreds of times and never seen scenery like this, was really breathtaking. The route took much longer than expected because almost every corner we went around we had to stop for a photo. 2 points of interest for this site... The Nesbitt Arms Hotel in Ardara was very motorbike friendly and provided secure parking (this is not offered to cars). The Greencastle > Magilligan Ferry is only £8 return for motorbikes. All the best, Dan Hi Denis, All,
