At the northern tip of IRELAND in northwestern Europe, Inishowen Peninsula (called Inis Eoghain in the Irish language) juts northward into the North Atlantic Ocean and is east of Lough Foyle. Malin Head (Cionn Mhálanna) is the northernmost point on Inishowen Peninsula and Ireland while Inishowen Head is one of the peninsula's easternmost points. Inishowen is surrounded by multiple small islands, including the Isle of Doagh. These islands are small enough that they are not visible above.Inishowen sits in County Donegal, which is located in Ulster province. As shown in the Hammond World Atlas (Sixth Edition, 2010) map above, the peninsula's highest point - Slieve Snaght - is about 615 meters and more than 2,000 feet tall. Like the rest of Ireland, Inishowen has a Humid Temperate Climate. There are various festivals and activities held throughout the peninsula. Sites of interest include Aughlish Stone Circle Complex, Bocan Stone Circle, Crummies Bay, Dunree Military Museum, Fort Dunree, Grianan Of Aileach, Malin Well, and multiple churches and castles. In addition to communities shown above, other ones include Burt, Fahan, Inch, Iskaheen, and Lecamy.
