3About Glengad
Glengad sits at the edge of Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal, offering wild Atlantic views from Ireland's northernmost reaches. The journey from Dublin takes about 350 kilometers via the M1 through Northern Ireland, then local roads like R238 and R240 across the peninsula. From Belfast, follow the A2 coastal route north for 200 kilometers before turning onto peninsula roads. The Wild Atlantic Way brings many visitors through Letterkenny and around the dramatic coastline. Glengad connects to Malin Head (15km northeast) and Carndonagh (20km south) via R242, with about 5 EV charging points available. The village sits near Ballyliffin's championship golf courses, including Glashedy Links which hosts the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open.
