Fort Dunree

A gem of a place for views Awesome place, amazing views. No need to pay to go into museum. You can stretch your legs and climb around this old military encampment. Alot of the buildings have fallen into disrepair and there is a weird reindeer statue in the middle which is a bit wickerman if truth be told but place well worth a visit for the scenery, the nice able around the fort and the chance to see dolphins. We saw loads on them in the bay - you can see across to Portsalon - super place.

Layers of history It was Easter Sunday and not much was open, so we just drove around, saw a sign, and just went for it. It was open, as was a great cafe that shared the parking lot with the fort. Definitely worth the nominal charge. Lots to look at. It has been retrofitted to provide new requirements for new needs over the years, so there are levels of history.

Fort Dunree Fort Dunree is a very interesting place to visit in Donegal. Plenty of historical stuff and a great spot for photos

Excellent Visit Great visit. Really informative and great museum.
Lots to see and learn about the history of the site.

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.

Breathtaking views. Even if you don't want to go in the Fort the views are stunning from all angles. At every turn there is a different view. Great walks around this rock. Spot for wild swimmers too. Had lunch at the cafe which boasts the best view in Ireland. Probebly not wrong there. Also a Art gallery showcasing local artists. Great beach a stones throw away.
