Pollet Great Arch
The Great Pollet Sea Arch
The Great Pollet Sea Arch is a real hidden gem of Fanad in County Donegal.
It is a spectacular natural sea arch and a fantastic example of marine erosion. It is located on a totally unspoilt stretch of coastline and has a lovely pebble beach adjoining it. This beautiful landmark is much photographed and a quick internet search will bring up many fabulous images for you. It is a steep hike down to the beach from the road but you wont be disappointed!
With very minimal signage, it is not the easiest place for the visitor to find so be sure to check your directions in advance (Google maps or the good old fashioned OS map will not let you down) and don sensible and sturdy footwear to tackle the steep track down which is not for the infirm, the unfit or the high heeled!
There are plenty more bays, sandy beaches and loughs to discover around the Fanad peninsula, from attractive coves, to surfing strands, and of course the pebble beeches too. You're also not far from excellent golf courses, horse riding, hill walking, fishing and water sports. Several scenic drives are signposted locally including the Fanad Drive - the most recent is the Mulroy Drive around the lovely Mulroy Bay.
On the other hand you may find the relaxation, views and tranquility of Great Arch Cottage difficult to leave!
Visit Fanad and enjoy!
