Directions

Here are the directions to our Artists View, Sandhill, Portnablagh, Co. Donegal

If you are using Sat Nav, navigate for Dunfanghy. It is an easy enough route to Dunfanghy – from Belfast, M2 towards Derry and on to Letterkenny.

At Letterkenny you will pick up signs for Dunfanaghy – there are plenty of these, taking you along the N56 past Moutain Top, through Kilmacrenan, Creeslough and finally you will see the town signs for Portnablagh, and the sea in front of you.

The main road swings left (a right turn would take you down to Portnablagh harbour) and curves around until you come to the start of a straight section of road running into Dunfanaghy. Your Sat Nav is probably telling you that you have a mile  and a bit to go.

At the beginning of this straight there is a left turn signposted “SANDHILL” – turn left here.

1. Look for the sign for Sandhill and turn left off the N56.

You will see the Mass Rock with two houses in the background – ours is the one to the left of the photo, slightly higher.

2. Look up above the Mass Rock – there are two bungalows. Artists View is the slightly higher one to the your left.

Drive on up the minor road a little until you see a sharp right turn.  The new concrete patch at the junction is a good clue.

3. Go past the steep driveway of the first property (Derek & Mavis’ place).

4. Next on your right is the way to Artist View – look for the concrete road repair.

As soon as you make the sharp turn, you will see the gable end of a bungalow up the hill in front of you. This is our place Artists View!

5. As you go up this road/lane, you will see the gable end of Artists View.

6. You’ve arrived!

Hope this makes sense – I am over-complicating a fairly easy route, but some people do struggle to find the house, so I thought I would try the photographs.

7. Admire the view – the Land Rover may be even out of the way!
