BUNDORAN - TOUR
| Bundoran is the favourite, perhaps the only, watering place in this part of Ireland. It consists
of one irregular street, parallel with and a little way off the shore, in length nearly a mile.
The "fashionable"part is the western half. The situation is somewhat bare and unprotected, but in full
command of a fine open sea with the Donegal Mountains, ending in Slieve League, on the far side, 12 to 20
miles away.
Along the shore are sandy nooks, well adapted for bathing, and the low limestone cliff is a good deal contorted, in one place forming an arch called the "fairy bridge", 24 feet in span. There is a path along the cliffs. Hotels: Hamilton's Terrace.,Sweeny's Hotel.,
