Add a Place Comment for Gola Island, Gabhla (2008) in Area: Donegal Islands, County: Donegal
Visited in 2014. Gola is prepared for tourists, lot's of informative signs, a tiny shop in the middle, there was even a holiday house to rent. Good views towards the mainland and all around there are islands and islets. Highest points are to the west with spectacular cliffs, the island is a bit split into northern and southern part so you have to descend to the lake in the middle before climbing to the other part. There's a beach west from the lake. Walking is easy and there are lot's of places to see.
During summer there's a ferry from the nearest pier GolaPr (B79271 26635)Linkback: mountainviews.ie/island/2008/comment/19533/
