Fort Dunree

Great Stop in County Donegal!!! This was my fourth visit to Fort Dunree, but the first for my girlfriend. I had the honor to tour it previously with a member of the Irish Defense Forces, who had been stationed there in the 1950s. The history of the area and the views are not to be missed. We highly recommend walking to the top of Fort Dunree to the "big guns". You don't have to be a history buff to thoroughly enjoy this gem on the coast of Lough Swilly.

Fort Dunree A hidden gem of Irish history, with great views over Lough Swilly. The museum is well laid out and very informative.

Nostalgic location We had a short visit to the fort on a visit to Donegal.
It's not the easiest place to get to, although it is signposted from about 5miles out.
It's an interesting site with a fairly long history, with most of the exhibition focusing on WW1 and WWII.
Depending on how long you want to stay you can simply visit the fort or climb to the top of the hill to see the lookout point, old army buildings, and hilltop view (which would be trying on a wet day).
