What a weekend! 10 stunning snaps from sunny Donegal

Donegal was bathed in beautiful sunlight for the Bank Holiday weekend and captured in all its glory by local photographers. 

Locals and tourists were delighted to catch some rays as temperatures reached highs of up to 18 degrees. Beaches, forests and parks were filled with people enjoying the sun, while local businesses enjoyed a welcome rise in ice cream sales!

We’ve selected ten photos which paint a picture of the excellent weather and landscape of Donegal and the Wild Atlantic Way this weekend. To feature in future galleries, send your photos to info@donegaldaily.com or tag us on Twitter and Instagram.

Perfect morning.

Sunrise at Fanad Lighthouse.
