the coastal walk

Buncrana is renowned for the variety and extent of its walks, but one walk in particular is worth taking, 'The Coastal Walk'. Starting at the Castle Bridge and continuing out past Ned's Point Fort which was built in 1812 during the Napoleonic Wars and continuing on past Porthaw Bay to Friar Hegarty's Rock. It was here that a local clergyman suffered martyrdom during 'The Penal Times' in 1632. You continue on to beautiful Sragill Strand.
