Photographer’s Note

View on Mount Errigal from R251 road. This wonderful mountain is one of the summits of Derryveagh Mountains. At 752 meters height, it is the highest point of Donegal. When you see the mountain far away, it looks white. This is not because of snow of course, but because of quartzite on the summit. Climbing the mountain is one of the must do in the area ... but I was not very brave and didn't do it ! There are two ways to reach the top of the mountain. The easiest goes on the south-east side of the mountain and starts on R251 road, a few kilometers after Dunlewy coming from Gweedore. It takes about 5 kilometers and 2 hours walk to reach the top.
