Go and see this unique building before it falls into the sea! Coastal erosion has brought the temple very close to the edge of the cliff.

Great views of Malin head from the pretty village of Muff. The roads around the town are very pleasant also.

Moville is a pretty little town at the estuary of the Foyle river. It is one of the most northernmost towns of the country and lies on the Wild Atlantic Way. Despite its small size, you can find plenty of pubs and shops here.

This charming, single-storey thatched cottage was built in the 17th century using a particularly unusual method for the time: cruck construction. The house was bought in the 1700s by Isaac Hezlett, a local farmer and his family continued to live in the property until the 1970s when it was given to the National Trust. You can visit the property and take a guided tour. For more information and to arrange a visit, head here: http://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/place/hezlett-house
