If you have no interest in ancient history, go there for the views! The vista is amazing. If you are interested in celtic history, again, go there!

Have been many times and always go back. The views are spectacular . The hotel below does wonderful lunches at a good price.

Cool fort, great views and easy to get to also! worth the trip!

Wonderful structure with great views over Lough Swilly and Inishowen
