Thanks for the article. My forebears left the Inishowen Peninsula around Famine times, and the few remaining people with our surname are those who stayed behind, and are part of our clan!
Commerce of course is part of it, as has been remarked about all Caminos leading to Santiago!

Here is a site with maps. The walks are loops-- not continuous, so it looks like a car would be needed. Donegal is fantastically beautiful.

I was on the peninsula earlier this year after starting at the other end of Ireland at Mizen Head. It's a spectacular coastline similar to the Norte.

Picked up a guide there. There is a link to a website too.

IF not next year...definitely the following! My hubby's grandmother came from Dun Lewy so it's "home" in a way. Been there once and loved it. 'Cept for the sideways rain. Made it a little easier to understand why Granny left! All in all beautiful and worth another visit. Add the fundraiser and it's a done deal

Ah how interesting. Was in Donegal in 2019, walked the Slieve League. What an experience.

The county of my childhood summers. That and the coast of antrim both very beautiful. Great walking and stunning scenery as well as gorgeous beaches if you get the weather.

We didn't do any walking in Donegal; there's not enough time to do everything. We did manage to walk part of a pilgrimage in County Mayo though after passing though Donegal. See https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...alk-locally-in-2023.78033/page-5#post-1181896

We had a couple of fantastic walks near Giants' Causeway but haven't posted about them yet.
