Donegal & The North West

Home to Colmcille's monastery until the late 16th century, Tory Island today is renowned for its small art community (with a king elected up until today) and for being an interesting detour off the Wild Atlantic Way for its spectacular scenery, spotted with historical landmarks such as the lighthouse or the Balor's Fort. A five-km long island, easy to explore on foot.
