It's getting to that time of the year again - it feels cold enough for snow tonight. Anyone recognise this place?

It's looking towards Glenveagh but not sure exactly where, is that a lake in the foreground ( Lough Fern? )

Well done! South West of Lough Fern, it's Lough Akibbon, looking across to Gartan Graveyard, with the top of Errigal peeking up just left of centre. This is a similar shot without the snow.

I thought the lake was a big field covered in snow

Well, it was used for soccer and as a race track for quads that winter. It was frozen solid!

It's been ages but seeing as we're allowed to travel again... Any ideas?

Is that down at Ards...Bingorm or something like that?

Lucky Shell beach ( also know as Monks Bay )

JoannieG · 18-04-2021 10:25AM

Well done!

HeidiHeidi · 18-04-2021 10:58AM

Bah, I was going to guess Ards, but chickened out!

Whereabouts is that? Looks gorgeous (in an area that ONLY has gorgeous beaches!!)

Ah..... found it, I think.... is it on the way from the carpark, out along the boardwalk?

Park at Ards Friary and take the path north along side the water. You can go down onto the beach and on over to Ards Forest Park.

The base of Muckish? Where you pass the statue of Our Lady.....

NIMAN · 20-04-2021 10:15PM

Not Muckish, no.

But its not a long list, so you'll get it soon!

Lough Salt?

slimboyfat · 21-04-2021 05:10PM

Sliabh Snaght ( looks like hill above Clonmany on the left and in the distance is the bay at Isle of Doagh )

We have a winner.

Where is this?

JoannieG · 22-04-2021 12:34PM

Haven't a clue where it is but I'm curious about the wooden (?) slats. What are they for?

retalivity · 22-04-2021 01:43PM

That is here outside Ardara - https://goo.gl/maps/1ghou6waXBv62N6J7

Think those slats are to stop slipping on the slip

From the blur and compass at bottom right it looks like it was taken off google streetview, so its beside the road..

It is indeed, a nice view the other direction but that would have been too easy...

If anyone else fancies adding a picture, work away as I can't think of one now that would be a challenge.

In all my 35+ years holidaying up around there, I never knew that was there.

Every day's a school day!

Where is this beach?
