Martello View - A Holiday Home in Bunbeg, Gweedore, Co Donegal
Martello View is a comfortable 4 bedroom holiday home situated in the town of Bunbeg in the heart of the West Donegal Gaeltacht. The holiday home is located across the road from the Clady river at a point 500 metres before it enters the sea at the quaint Bunbeg Harbour. The house takes it name from the small lookout tower just above the house which in times past was a lookout post to guard the coastline.
The holiday home has a bright open plan area featuring a modern fitted kitchen, dining area and a comfortably furnished living space with an open fireplace. There is a large utility room with storage space for bicycles, surf boards, golf clubs etc. The four bedrooms sleep up to 10 people - one bedroom is ensuite and there is a bathroom on the ground floor and a shower room on the first floor.
A short stroll from the holiday home is Bunbeg Harbour - reputedly the smallest harbour in Europe. This working harbour is a departure point for a ferrys to both Tory Island and Gola Island. Gola Island is just off the coast from Bunbeg and features deserted beaches and spectacular scenery. Tory Island is a day trip but the visitor will be rewarded with magnificent scenery- scenery that has beguiled generations of artists.
Just over 1 km from the holiday home is the wonderful Magheraclogher Strand - a beautiful sandy beach that has Mount Errigal as a majestic backdrop. This is just one of several fine beaches and sandy coves that dot the Gweedore coastline. A little over 2 km north of the holiday home is the scenic - and challenging - 9 hole Gweedore Golf Club. Indoor leisure facilites are available at the nearby Ostan Gweedore Hotel and at An Chuirt Hotel overlooking the Clady River (8km)
Bunbeg - and the wider Gweedore area - has a vibrant music scene. Clannad, Enya and Altan all have their roots in the region. During the summer months there are regular music sessions in the local pubs. The monday night sessions in Hudi Beag's Pub are very popular with some well known musicians dropping in for a jam - the pub is a short walk from the holiday home. The Franky Kennedy Winter Music School is an annual week long music festival attracting musicians from all over the world for lessons in the art of traditional Irish music. The festival takes place over the new year period and features concerts from internationally renowned Musicians.
A number of Donegals top tourist attractions are within a short driving distance of the holiday home. Heading inland towards the Donegal Highlands you have The Dunlewey Centre (12km) , the Poison Glen (14km), Mount Errigal (15km) and the magnificent Glenveagh National Park (2Okm). Other scenic attractions in the region include the blue flag Carrickfinn Beach, the renowned Loughanure fishing lake and Bloody Foreland.

Four Locations Two Disasters
Music1: McVicker - The Boys Are Back In Town
Music2: Slainte - Fear a Bhata
Gweedore is an area to the west of Donegal. Not only is it an area of stunning beauty, but also where Irish is spoken as the first language. Irish culture is abundant here in song, dance and music.
I paid a visit to 4 locations; Annagry (Anagaire), Dunlewey (Dún Lúiche), Poisoned Glen, also in Dunlewy and Bunbeg (An Bun Beag)
It is my first vlog for a while as I have been back to school and I had equipment failure. I replaced the GoPro with 2 GoPros (a good deal)
Just after the first image i knocked my main GoPro into sea water, together with my new mic and while at Dunlewey my b roll camera which is a cheap chinese (but very good) action camera tumbled backwards into the water.
