Magees One Hour Photo Lab Ltd

Now that the Summer is (finally) upon us, the budding photographer in all of us will soon be making an appearance! Although, in today’s world of Instagram, Snapchat and Hashtags, we hardly need much of an excuse to take a sneaky pic! At Online Photo Printing we consider ourselves extremely lucky to be situated in one of the most scenic locations in Ireland (and dare we say the world)! Donegal has loads of accolades to prove just this! Here just a selection that we think are worth mentioning:

(That last one is just something we like to mention!)

In store at Online Photo Printing we have been discussing our favourite local spots to take the perfect picture. It can be easy to take the place you live in for granted, but we strongly believe that Donegal should always be appreciated for its natural beauty. So whether you are a local resident or just passing through for a visit, here are some of our favourite photographic locations:

1) Fanad Head

Fanad Head is the most northerly point of the stunning Fanad Peninsula. It is famous for its beautiful beaches, incredible scenery and the iconic lighthouse. While you’re there, look out for the amazing sea arch at Pollaid.

2) Slieve League (Sliabh Liag) Cliffs

Mentioned earlier, the Slieve League Cliffs are something we are particularly proud of, as they are the highest accessible sea cliffs in Europe, reaching a staggering 1,972 feet. Aside from offering panoramic views of Donegal Bay and beyond, there are many other beautiful sights you can enjoy such as The Giant’s Desk and Chair, the Napoleonic Tower as well as a number of loughs and waterfalls.

3) Poison Glen

Lying at the foot of Errigal, Donegal’s highest mountain, the views of the Poison Glen can be enjoyed from both above and below. Legends and ghost stories surround the Poison Glen, with its origins said to have come from when the one-eyed ancient king of Tory Balor was killed by his grandson, and upon dying the poison from his eye split the rock and poisoned the glen.

4) Tory Island (Oileán Thoraí)

The Gaeltacht area of Tory Island is one of our favourite places for a photograph if you are a bird lover, as it is one of the only parts of Ireland that you can catch a glimpse of the endangered corncrake. Aside from this, Tory Island is also steeped in history and myth, and also boasts spectacular cliff scenery.
