    Local information

    • County Donegal is located on the north-westerly tip of Ireland and is considered to be one of Ireland's most beautiful and unspoilt counties which is renowned for its history, heritage and landscape. Donegal is typified by its dramatic towering sea cliffs, rolling lush hills and stunning beaches. The property is situated at Malin Head, Ireland's most northerly point. Malin Head lies on the Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal and is the beginning of the Wild Atlantic Way, renowned for its rugged coastline, scenery and numerous Blue-Flag beaches. The property is iconic both locally and worldwide as it recently served as a film location for Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2016, with Skildren Cottage used for the green room during the filming.
    • Malin Head is a lovely rural area which has a strong community presence and a wonderful feeling of remoteness, yet everyday amenities are provided in the Malin Head area with further amenities available at Malin Town (13 km) and at the popular village of Culdaff (20 km). A more comprehensive range of facilities and services can be found in the town of Carndonagh which is 20 km distant.
    • The Inishowen Peninsula is home to some of Europe's largest sand dunes at the famous Five Finger Strand (12 km distant). Local areas of interest also include the nearby Banba's Crown, built by the British Admiralty in circa 1805 as part of a string of buildings around the Irish coast to guard against a possible French invasion; and Hells Hole, a remarkable subterranean coastal cavern into which the sea tide rushes with great force.
    • Malin Head is one of the best places in Ireland to see the spectacular Aurora Borealis due to its lack of light pollution and clear view to the north. There are a number of leisure and sporting activities in the area including fishing, hiking, diving, photography excursions, and water sports. The landscape is ideal for wildlife enthusiasts with basking sharks and dolphins regularly sighted in the local bay.
    • The land surrounding both Breasty Bay House and Skildren Cottage is ideal for fishing and lobster potting off the rocks, with basking sharks and dolphins often seen on the private shorefront and rock pools which are abundant with life. There are beautiful, coloured pebbles and stones on the beach and the sea has made wonderful natural seats perfect to watch the spectacular Malin Head sunsets and sunrises.
    • Golfing enthusiasts are well catered for with Ballyliffin Golf Course (26 km) regarded as one of Irelands' finest links complexes and offering two championship courses - the Old Links designed by Nick Faldo and Glashedy Links which hosted the Irish Open in 2018.
    • Primary schooling is available locally in Malin Head at St Marys National School (5 km) with secondary schooling available in Carndonagh (20 km).
