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!
Please remember to observe the country code and ‘Leave no trace’
“After a day’s walk, everything has twice its usual value.”

Please note: As the Melmore head route is sadly no longer accesible due to locked gates being erected, it has been removed and replaced with a new Route 22 named fintown forest.

Let's face it. A damp day in Glenveagh National Park is still better than a dry day doing housework!!😂

A tale of two beaches! Rathmullan buzzing yesterday with the sailing and 24 hours later I'm on the always lovely Rosslare Strand. Looking forward to
