Ireland — The Dispatches
Donegal
Home turf on the wild Atlantic coast, back most summers — the strands at Portnoo, sea fishing off the pier, the best fish and chips in the world up at Killybegs, and the mountains and castle of Glenveagh inland.

Glenveagh Castle & Park
A Victorian castle on the shore of a long glacial lake, ringed by the Derryveagh mountains — walled gardens, red deer, and Ireland's second-largest national park.
Portnoo Beach
The Blue-Flag strand at Narin–Portnoo — miles of pale sand, tidal pools out to Inishkeel island, and some of the best sunsets in the country.
Sea fishing
Out from the pier for mackerel and pollock — the classic Donegal evening, mountains on one side and the open Atlantic on the other.
