Seaview House
Sightseeing
The majestic Sliabh Liag (Slieve League) cliffs, a 10 minute drive from the house, are a must-see. Great for sightseeing and also hiking. There's a nice coffee and gift shop along the way and two parking areas - the main parking area a half hour walk from the main viewpoint, and a smaller parking area at the main viewpoint, Bunglass Point. The road is narrow in places so take your time when driving. The adventurous can also hike from the house, taking Pilgrim's route. You could also stop on the way back at The Rusty Mackerel for food/drinks (best to book in advance).

Take the picturesque coastal road to Kilcar to take in some lovely views over Teelin harbour and coastline, visit the small beach or visit Kilcar.

A beautiful hidden waterfall, near the Largy Viewpoint, 10 minutes drive from Carrick, on the road back towards Killibegs, not far from the Blue Haven hotel.
Important: It can be dangerous getting there - you will need to time the tides, and it involves climbing over often slippery rocks. Best to research and plan in advance.
Direction guides: You can find through online search/maps using 'Secret Waterfall, Largy'. There's plenty of guides online for how to access, for example, the theirishroadtrip site.
Basic directions: It's along the road the Blue Haven is on, on the opposite side through a gate. Down a dirt path to the beach then right along the beach over the rocks until you reach it.

Maghera beach and caves. A large, beautiful beach about 30-40 minutes drive from the house. One of our favourite beaches. Also has some caves that you can investigate when the tide is out. You pass Assaranca Waterfall along the way. Take the scenic route - turn left just before the bridge in Carrick, taking the L1125 road, for some spectacular views of the Glengesh Pass from the valley at Glengesh Viewing Point. Just before Ardara look for the turn left marked 'An Machaire', follow this route to the waterfall and then onto the beach.
