Fairy Bridges and the Wishing Chair

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Wishing Chair is carved out of stone and sits overlooking wonderful views of Donegal Bay. If you want to follow in the footsteps of the surfer Kelly Slater and make a wish, there is an information board closeby which tells you how to do it properly.
The naturally eroded bridges were once thought to be the home of fairies, hence their evocative name.

Donegal Bay
