DONEGAL • IRELAND

www.discoverbundoran.com

Coming from South to North, Bundoran’s Tullan Strand is proud to be the first Discovery Point you will meet in County Donegal on the Wild Atlantic Way and what a place to start! With scenic views for 360 degrees you can see back into Mullaghmore, County Sligo and across Donegal Bay to the magical Slieve League Cliffs.

As you begin the Roguey Walk Experience, you will arrive at the stunning Fairy Bridges – sea stacks hundreds of years old and Bundoran’s original tourist attraction back in the 1800s. However, it is believed that as far back as the 1700s locals thought these to be haunted by the fairies with the result of the name “The Fairy Bridges”.

While you’re there, take a seat on Bundoran’s own Wishing Chair. It is said that many of the town’s famous visitors over the years have sat here overlooking the wild Atlantic Ocean - from poet William Allingham to golfer Christy O’Connor to Viscount Enniskillen to 10 times world champion surfer Kelly Slater – they’re all believed to have sat in Bundoran’s famous Wishing Chair located at the Fairy Bridges at Tullan Strand.

Wishing Chair Ritual Legend says it is advised to approach the chair with caution lest the powers of the chair be disrupted. Wishers are advised to sit down slowly holding on to both “arms” of the chair and then pause for at least 15 seconds to take in the stunning scenery that surrounds them – Donegal Bay to their left, Tullan Strand straight ahead and the Dartry Mountains to the right. It is useful to contemplate the figures, possible heroes and heroines who may have sat in the chair in the years and the centuries ahead of them, before making their wish which must be done in silence and kept private to the wisher in order to increase the chances of it coming true. Finally it is believed that tapping the seat twice as you get up will give your final commitment that your wish is a genuine one.

...The Surf Capital of Ireland!

One of the things that sets Bundoran apart is its wide array of options for all surfers whether at Tullan Strand, Main Beach, The Peak or nearby Rossnowlagh or Streedagh.

Beginners & improvers - We would strongly advise all beginners or those who’ve been surfing only a handful of times to take a lesson with one of the four excellent surf schools based in Bundoran. The schools are all approved by the Irish Surfing Association and just like a beginner skier would never start out on a black run, this way you have an experienced coach and lifeguard to make sure that you have a safe and fun experience at the right beach for the conditions.

Intermediate - Whether you just plan to rent equipment or you have your own boards - all the surf schools will be happy to help you out. All 4 rent boards and wetsuits but will also be happy to just dispense some advice. Tullan Strand is an excellent beach for those who’ve progressed beyond lessons. Famous for being considered Ireland’s most consistent beach break with waves right along the stretch of golden sand with a wave for almost every level of surf.

Advanced - The Peak and other reef breaks. It’s no coincidence that Bundoran has hosted many Irish and International tournaments. Its world class waves and friendly people make it a perfect hosting venue. Most of the world’s best surfers, including Kelly Slater and Tom Curran have visited Bundoran to catch waves on the Peak. These breaks are for very experienced surfers only.

Tow-In and Big Wave Surfing - Waves at nearby Mullaghmore have made national and international headlines in recent years - this type of surfing only for the trained professionals - it’s fun to watch though!

...for Fun Activities!

Fishing trips - Whether you are interested in Sea Angling, River Angling or Coarse Fishing, Donegal Bay has somewhere in the region of 30 different species of fish and it’s not unusual for a day’s fishing to produce at least 5 or more species. The Bundoran Star runs charter trips for anglers or for those who prefer just to watch. www.bundoranstar.ie

Game Angling and Coarse fishing - This is available all around the region from Lough Melvin to the River Drowes to Assaroe Lake. For advice, call into Carty’s Land And Sea Sports. www.landanadseasports.ie Discover Bundoran for Angling brochure may be downloaded at www.discoverbundoran.com/downloads

Horse riding - Donegal Equestrian Centre (see page 5). www.donegalequestriancentre.com

Cycling - From Bundoran, you can be cycling along beautiful cliff top coastal roads around Mullaghmore, an hour later be cruising around the famous Gleniff Horseshoe and another hour later be circling Lough Gill in Sligo through leafy forests. If you don’t have a bike with you - The Bike Stop on Main Street 085 2488317 have a range of bikes and helmets for all.

Walking & Hiking - The two main walks in Bundoran are the Roguey Walk Experience and the West End Cliff Walk. The Roguey Walk heads east along Main Beach and then up over the Roguey cliffs to Tullan Strand (don’t forget to check out the Fairy Bridges and Wishing Chair while you’re there). Then you can loop around back through the east end of town. For the West End Cliff Walk, head west from the Tourist Office, past the world famous Peak surf break and just after the Lifeboat station, you’ll see a sign for the cliff walk which will guide you along the cliffs at the west end of town.

Both Turf n Surf and Donegal Adventure Centre run regular walks for groups but for those who like to plan their own routes, there are ample opportunities for hiking in the Darty and Bluestack mountains that encompass the area.

Two outdoor Atlantic sea water swimming pools are available to those so inclined - one at West End and one just below Waterworld, while Main Beach offers lifeguarded conditions during summer months - just remember to obey the flags and seek advice if you are unsure.

Bundoran’s repute as Ireland’s Premiere Seaside Resort holds its roots in the 18th century when Viscount of Enniskillen, William Cole built Bundoran Lodge when he fell in love with the fresh sea air and picturesque views this small inlet of the Atlantic had to offer. Since then the town has continued to grow in popularity with visitors from all walks and all corners of the globe who have travelled and continue to travel to Bundoran to bathe, walk, dance, fish, surf, relax and everything in between, keeping the town’s status as Ireland’s premiere seaside resort very much alive.

Bundoran, or as it is known in Irish “Bun Dobhrain” whichmeans “the foot of the little water” was actually, up until over a century ago, two separate villages. Bundoran was the village west of the bridge over the River Bradog, this area is now known as the West End. East of the bridge almost a mile away, was the village of Single Street. In between these two separate communities lay the historic town land of Drumacrin.

The area of Drumacrin is now part of what is today’s town centre. It was only after the opening of the railway station in 1866 which was called Bundoran that the two distinct communities developed and merged to what we know nowadays to be Bundoran. Single Street was where the majority of the local native population lived. Across the bridge in what is now the West End, was the area of residence favoured by the more affluent classes.

Bundoran as a destination remained popular throughout the 20th century. Day excursions to the town by bus or train were hugely popular . One advertisement from the Great Northern Railway in 1940 read: “Have your annual excursion to Bundoran this year - and you will want to visit again and again! At Bundoran you will realise what the true amenities of the seaside really are.”

In more modern times Bundoran’s appeal as a family resort has been further enhanced by developments in recent years of the Waterworld Complex and building of new hotels, self-catering apartments and houses. Following this period of renaissance the town now boasts the largest accommodation base in the north west of Ireland and a host of activities, entertainment and attractions for all the family all year round.

The first mention of Bundoran was in 1777 when Viscount Enniskillen built his summer residence - Bundoran Lodge.

Straight across Donegal Bay is Slieve League – the highest accessible sea cliffs in Europe and one of the most popular visitor attractions in the county and now part of the Wild Atlantic Way. Although less famous than the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Slieve League’s cliffs reach almost three times higher!! “One Man’s Pass” is a popular walk on this mountain.

A trip to Donegal Town isn’t complete without taking in two of its top attractions – Donegal Castle and the Donegal Bay Waterbus! Cruise around Donegal Bay in the state of the art 160 seater Waterbus.

Donegal Castle, is nestled right in the heart of Donegal Town. It was built by the O’Donnell chieftains in the 15th Century, beside the river Eske and then rebuilt in Jacobean style in the 16th Century by Sir Basil Brooke. Guided tours are available.

For a day trip from Bundoran why not pack the picnic basket and head south to the Gleniff Horseshoe in County Sligo. The horseshoe is a 9km drive around a valley ringed by Tievebaun, Truskmore, The Hills of AnnaCoona and Benwiskin mountains. Whether you drive it or walk it, it’s one not to miss.

Just a short drive across the border from Bundoran is Belleek Pottery, one of Northern Ireland’s most popular visitor attractions.

Ireland’s second largest national park, Glenveagh, is a mere 90 minutes drive from Bundoran. The park covers 170 square km of hillside above Glenveagh Castle on the shore of Lough Veagh.

Abbey Assaroe is just outside Ballyshannon. The restored mill is also home to a craft shop and a museum of the Cistercian Monks in Medieval Ireland. Visitors can also check out the nearby Catsby Cave and take a stroll along the river across the oldest bridge in Ireland to see St Patricks Well.

Reopened in 2014, nearby Lissadell House in County Sligo is a must for any fans of Irish literature, history, politics and gardens – the ancestral home of Countess Markievicz and a regular haunt of poet William Butler Yeats. Daily tours are offered during their tourist season – more at www.lissadellhouse.com
