About Kinlough

Kinlough sits where the Drowes River meets Donegal Bay in County Leitrim, right on the N15 coastal route between Sligo and Donegal Town. It's about 230 kilometers from Dublin via Sligo, or 160 kilometers from Belfast through Enniskillen. The town serves as a handy stop between Bundoran (8km) and Ballyshannon (15km), with the R280 offering a quieter mountain route inland. You'll find decent EV charging options in the nearby towns. The town's claim to fame is housing Ireland's most northerly RNLI lifeboat station, which has been rescuing folk from these tricky waters since 1967.
