Left the farm and drove through Donegal town. Much smaller than I had imagined. Drove past Benbulbin Mountain, centre for mountain biking and climbing. 

 Went to Belleek to visit the China factory, during in and out of Northern Ireland to get there . We did the guided tour, only us, and learnt all about how this beautiful china is produced. Belleek is on the Donegal Corridor, a special connection of air space between Northern Ireland and international waters, created during WW2 to allow greater range for the allied aircraft.
 
After lunch, drove along the coast. Had a good look at Bundoran, very quite and sad looking on a winter's day. Passed Classiebawn Castle, owned originally by the Mountbatten family. This was near where Lord Mountain was killed on his boat by an IRA bomb in 1979. Then past Drumcliff, where poet W.B Yeats is buried.
 
Drove out to Streedagh Beach, where 3 ships of the Spanish Armada were wrecked in 1588.
 
On into Sligo, and walked around the town, dodging rain. 
 
Camped at The Beach Bar at Aughris Head, a really old fashioned thatched pub at a very wind-blown beach. Not a palm tree or deck chair in sight, but great Guinness stew for dinner.
