Inishowen Peninsula

(Local Name: Inis Eoghain) The Inishowen Peninsula (Inis Eoghain, "Eoghain's Island") is the northernmost part of Ireland; its most northerly point is Malin Head.

On the west side of the peninsula Lough Swilly, a broad arm of the sea, cuts deep into the land; on the east side is the great expanse of Lough Foyle, beyond which is Northern Ireland. At its northwestern tip lies Malin Head, overlooking the open sea. Inishowen is reached on the N13 from Letterkenny. The R238 encircles the peninsula.
