The 174 steps that lead down (...and back up!) to Donegal's Malin Beg 😓

Also known as 'Silver Strand' (yes, there's around 30 beaches with this name in Ireland), Malin Beg is arguably one of the Wild Atlantic Way's more impressive beaches 😍

Now, if you/someone you're travelling with has limited mobility, don't worry - you can admire the horseshoe-shaped cliffs at Silver Strand

Glencolmcille is arguably one of the most overlooked corners of Donegal, and it's well worth carving out some time to visit 🗺

This section, which takes in the towering cliffs, is especially impressive at sunset!
