Visit some of Ireland’s most beautiful locations using Moville Boutique Hostel as your base.

The Northern Headlands

From the wind whipped tip of Malin Head to the safe haven of Kinsale.
The Wild Atlantic Way is a sensational journey of soaring cliffs and
buzzing towns and cities, of hidden beaches and epic bays. So
whether you drive it from end to end, or dip into it as the mood strikes, it’s going to be a once in a lifetime experience.

Expand your mind, body and soul in Donegal. Untouched and virtually unexplored, this ruggedly beautiful and remote region lies at the far north of the Wild Atlantic Way. It’s no wonder Donegal was named the ‘Coolest Place on the Planet for 2017’ by National Geographic Traveller.

Rocky. Remote. Romantic. Beneath skies streaked with Northern Lights, follow the curve of the coast from this island’s northernmost point at Malin Head, past lonely Fanad Head Lighthouse to the sweeping Slieve League cliffs.
Untouched, off-radar and crying out for exploration, this rugged and remote area marks the northwestern contour of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Nature is the star here, from the sheer granite walls of some of Europe’s highest sea cliffs at Slieve League, to Northern Lights dancing in clear winter skies. This is a place that will lift your spirit..

Malin Head

Malin Head is at the very tip of the Inishowen Peninsula, Ireland’s most northerly point. Over millions of years the wild Atlantic has carved dramatic crevices into the rugged headland, such as Hell’s Hole – a long, deep, narrow chasm where the swells below churn and roar. About 16km (10 miles) north of the village of Malin is Banba’s Crown, named after one of the mythical queens of Ireland, which offers panoramic views of this magnificent coast.

Malin Head is approximately 40 minutes by car from Moville Boutique Hostel.

Fanad Head

Fanad Head is a wildly exposed headland. It’s also the most northerly point of the beautiful Fanad Peninsula, known for the iconic Fanad Head Lighthouse, as well as stunning scenery and incredible beaches. Watch out for grey seals bobbing in the sea, pretty coves and powerful waves crashing across the rocks, maybe even a breaching whale in the distance.

Fanad Head is approximately 90 minutes by car from Moville Boutique Hostel. Drive to Buncrana (30 minutes) where you can take the (seasonal) Lough Swilly Ferry to Rathmullan, with a 30 minute scenic drive taknig you to Fanad Head & Lighthouse.

Slieve League Cliffs

The Slieve League Cliffs (or Sliabh Liag in Irish), on the south west coast of County Donegal, are said to be some of the highest and best examples of marine cliffs in Europe. Take in fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Sligo Mountains and Donegal Bay as you head towards the top, where the cliff face of Bunglas rises over 600 metres (1968 feet) above the roaring ocean.
Harbour, wrap yourself in the wilderness of the west coast of Ireland on the world’s longest defined coastal touring route. The sea air revives, minds and horizons expand, stories are told, adventures are shared, and spirits lift.

Using Moville Boutique Hostel as your base, Slieve League Cliffs are a 2 hour, 25 minute drive away. We recommend leaving early morning, heading toward Letterkenny and heading onto Donegal Town before passing by the fishing town of Killybegs (the last town before Slieve League)
