The Atlantic Drive
The Atlantic DriveVery popular local beach located on the atlantic drive in downings. Please note that the property owner no longer allows people to access the beach throught his field. the only way to get there is by going over the headland via tra na rossan beach. It a bit of a hike but well worth the work out

Local buisness
" So glad we visited. Possibly the most instagrammable - which is to say attractive - shop in Donegal if not all of Ireland, the Duthie Memorial Hall which is home to the McNutt woollen mill shop and its many beautiful woollen-based products is worth the trip to Downings alone. You’ll find a sense of continuing tradition, a pride in craftsmanship, and given the strong brand, store’s design and layout, great packaging and goods on offer, a clear appreciation of the modern market and trends. And from the roaring trade they were doing when we visited, it’s clear that it’s in a perfect spot in this popular, touristy part of Donegal. Gifts for family members (and ourselves and our home) sorted for years to come. (Great food in the coffee shop next door too.)"
