As part of our Donegal and Antrim tour, we visited the fort of Grianán of Aileach.Perched in a spectacular position at the top of Greenan Mountain, Grianán of Aileach offers views of everywhere from Glenveagh National Park and Derry City to Lough Foyle and beyond.The fort is surrounded by a dry-stone wall that is around 5 metres tall and hugs an area 23.5 metres in diameter.It is thought to have been built during the 6th or 7th century by the kings of the Cenél nÉogain, a branch of the powerful Northern Uí Néill dynasty.Their kingdom was the Inishowen Peninsula, and they could gaze across all they had conquered from their fortress. #thewildatlanticway #visitdonegal #VisitIreland #DiscoverIreland #footfallswalkingholidays #footfalls.ie See MoreSee Less
