Dunlewey is a small village sitting in the foot of Mt. Errigal and near Lough Dunlewey.

If you went there for the day you would enjoy it. It is a place for both children and adults. In Dunlewey for children there are petting zoos, pony trekking and excellent boat trips with a storyteller.

Also for the kids there is a little park with zip wires, swings, seesaws, rope ladders and tightropes that aren't very dangerous.

There are Lakeside walks and they can enjoy the boat ride as well as the kids. In the summer there is traditional music sessions and lovely cafés. And if you're a tourist there is a great shop for souvenirs such as birthstones, pencil cases, books and much, much more.

Muckish Mountain

Muckish is a mountain, it is a good place for walking. When you get to the top there are a lot of stones, people throw them off for good luck. On the top there is a huge cross. Years ago men used to quarry out sand and it would be taken away to a foreign country and it would be made into glass. Here is a poem by local poet Eddie Mc Cafferty about Muckish

O mountain so lofty,
I see you today,
so tall and majestic
'Neath sky Dark and gray.

I saw you in summer
'neath sky bright and blue
And i climbed to your summit
The country to view.

I passed by the carnan,
And added a stone
perhaps to the grave
of some hero unknown.

he might be a prince
or a warrior bold
Ormaybe the son
of some labera of old

whose ardent desire,
Or dying request,
was high on the hill-top
to be laid to rest.
