This is a nice spot to have a bit of a rest and a bite to eat after your lovely walk. Very convenient being next to the road and with a couple of benches here as well.

As the Glenanniff River travels down from the mountains above, it has eroded the local blue limestone to form a deep river valley. Fowleyโ€™s Falls is not a single drop waterfall; instead, it cascades in a series of drops over the exposed bedrock to form a spectacular torrent of water rushing through the steep valley towards Lough Melvin.

The Wishing Chair is carved out of stone and sits overlooking wonderful views of Donegal Bay. If you want to follow in the footsteps of the surfer Kelly Slater and make a wish, there is an information board closeby which tells you how to do it properly. The naturally eroded bridges were once thought to be the home of fairies, hence their evocative name.

The beach at Bonduran is popular with all the amenities you'd expect at a town bay, including lifeguards and amusement arcades and a funfair if you have some young runners with you. It is regularly used by surfers and you can run along the cliffs from here to take a closer look.
