I thought it was going to take longer than that for someone to recognise it! Have you got any shots?

Quite a few shots would have been consumed on those long weekends

Sorry no pics.

ok, not sure of the name of the lake, but if you swung round 90 degrees to the left, Errigal mountain would be on the horizon, and 90 degrees to the right, An Cuirt Hotel would be slightly behind you..

That much is true, at least on a clear day..

..but it's a very long way from there (Lough Nacung)

I recognised the trees, its a lake on the right hand side of the road going towards Errigal on the road to Dunlewy coming from Bunbeg.. An Cuirt is probably alot farther back than I remember.. couple of miles?

Closer to 30 miles maybe:D

This one is not easy. Although someone will probably prove me wrong.

heres a few... they are all from the same spot from a smallish cliff along the coast

An Chuirt is just up the road from Lake Nacung Sess... discuss :pac:

Yes it is. The photo was not taken there though. I only mentioned Lough Nacung when you said you were not sure of the name of the lake in your original guess.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I was beginning to think that it must be somewhere on the other side of Errigal!

Clue - As I say, you can see Errigal from the place the photo was taken, but it's between 20 and 30 miles away. From one of your previous photos I know you have been in this general area

That place looks interesting. How do you get there?

there are 2 ways tp get there... on the main road to Ballyshannon, take a right to go to Rossnowlagh. Go out this road for about 4 miles, passing the monestary/church, and look out for a sign for Creevy Pier and Creevy Pier Hotel on the right. Go down that road about a mile and you come to a car park on the right (its small)... there is a sign at the car park explaining about the area etc and the castle ruins. Walk up along the embankment overlooking the rocky area and follow it round to the right for about 500 metres. The unusual rock formation is when you look over the cliff edge to the left as you walk towards the ruins.
The other way to get there is by going to Ballyshannon, and instead of taking a left at the cinema/Abbey theatre, stay straight and take a right turn to go on the back road to Rossnowlagh. About 3 miles out this road, the Creevy turn off is on the left. The ruins is said to be the original home-place of the O'Clearaigh family, of the Four Masters

Carrickman · 02-04-2009 10:35am

Where's this?

mrmac · 02-04-2009 9:40pm

Haven't a clue! But want to go there when I find out, looks very interesting!

The only stone shore I've seen like that is up about Bloody Foreland, although the pointy rock looks like something I've seen (from a distance) looking from Rosbeg.

Like I said - Nil Scooby Doo agam!

Nobody got this one yet so another photo might help.

The second photo is one taken from the hill in the original. A hazy errigal can be seen in the distance.
