Hello Everyone. I’m Pat Brennan.
I live in Letterkenny in Co. Donegal.
As an enthusiastic and experienced walker I have enjoyed so many beautiful walking routes that my home county has to offer. From lovely quiet country roads to well known marked trails to challenging hill routes. With this website I hope to give simple and clear information about a number of my favourite walking routes in Co. Donegal.
I would like to dedicate this website and all the walks to the late David Herman, whose book ‘Hill Walkers Donegal’ first set me on this course years ago, and to my very dear walking friends. You know who you are!
