If the weather is good, take advantage and visit the surrounding countryside, including the Famine village at Gartan, The Derek Hill studio, as well as the Gartan Outdoor Pursuits centre itself and maybe even climb Mount Errigal, Donegal's highest peak. A visit to nearby Glenveagh National Park is a must if you have transport.
Award-winning beaches are plentiful in the locality. Marble Hill is about half an hour's drive from Letterkenny, Portsalon is about a 40 minute drive and Portnoo beach is less then an hour's drive from Letterkenny.
