The largest of the Donegal Peninsula’s, Inishowen stretches out between the waters of Lough Foyle and Lough Swilly to reach Ireland’s most northerly mainland point at Malin Head.
It is a land that is rich in heritage and culture with such a large diversity of attractions for the visitor that it is often referred to as Ireland in Miniature. The name Inishowen is taken from Owen, son of Niall of nine hostages who is said to have captured Saint Patrick and brought him to Ireland.
The tour of the Inish Eoghan 100 is the name given to a scenic route around the Inishowen Peninsula that both starts and finishes in the town of Bridgend. The name of the route is derived from the distance in miles from start to finish. The route is well signposted and provides access to some of the most breathtakingly beautiful scenery to be found anywhere in Ireland.
