South West Donegal has some of the best hillwalking areas in Ireland and its 2000 ft. mountain, Sliabh Liag, is regarded as the finest marine cliff in Europe. Despite the beauty of this peninsula, it is relatively under-utilised by walkers, even in the height of the summer season. All routes, followed by Oideas Gael, vary in difficulty and give participants a chance to see the best of South Donegal’s wild and varied coastal scenery. This area forms part of the Donegal Gaeltacht and it is hoped that walkers will be able to use and practise their Irish during the course of the week’s holiday, or if new to the language, learn a few words and expressions. Emphasis is on enjoyment and the evenings are spent listening to some of the traditional music, for which the area is famous and to join in the craic which accompanies the Oideas Gael programme of courses.
