Fort Dunree

Fort Dunree is a military museum that incorporates a Napoleonic Martello Tower into a more recent World War I defence. It is located about seven miles north of Buncrana in the Inishown Penninsula in County Donegal. The site is situated along the shores of Lough Swilly commanding a majestic view of the Lough and it's shorelines. The Fort Dunree heritage museum complex was originally opened to the public in 1986, and has provided interest for the tourists of all ages ever since. It has also been a course of great pleasure and reminiscence for those of a military background, whether having served at the post or just been involved in its military history.

In it's natural spectacular setting, Fort Dunree is rich in wildlife, some of it unique to the area. This is further explained in the museum, and admirably supported by a beautiful wildlife exhibition with sea life and birdlife displays.
