Hello from Ballyliffin, Ireland! 🇮🇪 Ballyliffin is quite amusing to me. It has a population of 426 people as of 2016 and had one grocery store in the entire village which was also a gas station, a newspaper stand and candy store. It’s like men’s 6 in one shampoo, conditioner, face wash, soap, windshield wiper fluid and toothpaste 😹 I’m kidding, sort of Have you ever visited a village with such a low population of people? Did you enjoy it? I like alternating from medium sized cities to villages to change things up. #chasingcrystal #irelandtravel #irelandcalling #ballyliffin #wildatlanticwaydonegal #donegal #donegalireland #donegaltourism (at Ballyliffin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqYflvJvIOB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Carrickabraghy Castle

Carrickabraghy Castle is a castle on the Inishowen Peninsula near the village of Ballyliffin. I only happened to know about it when I saw a marker on Google Maps which is the reason what I thought to pay it a visit. Like a lot of castles in Ireland, Carrickabraghy Castle was built by the water to make it easier to defend. The castle itself is built on top of some elevated land so it is not totally right beside the water. The terrain near the castle itself isn't very good, which probably makes it a perfect place to defend.

Going to Carrickabraghy Castle

I was going around Inishowen Peninsula to check out some interesting places I haven't been to. I'm in the village of Ballyliffin which has this long stretch of beach. I noticed that Google Maps shows that there is a castle on the other end of the beach so I was interested to see it. I passed by the village of Ballindavoe where you can have a look at the estuary that empties into the Atlantic. It is really a sight to behold. The road to the castle isn't very good. It is basically a rough road all the way. There were times that I had to wonder if the directions were correct since there doesn't seem to be any castle nearby but just keep following the road and you won't miss it.

It was another day of putter problems for world number eight McIlroy on the Donegal links

“Phones on silent,” cries Rory at Ballyliffin.

If he wasn’t frustrated enough at seeing a 20-foot birdie putt defy gravity moments earlier after horseshoeing out of the cup, now Rory McIlroy is having to fulfil marshal duties at the Irish Open.

The plea for no offending ringtones has already gone…
