Westport - Omagh - Dungannon - North East Coast.

4th August Toorbuck – Westport - Omagh - Dungannon

We stayed at an abnb in Claremorris near Toorbuck with a farming family Terese and Edwards, in the morning we drove into Westport for a coffee and a look around. Westport was a nice coastal town that catered to the tourists. One of the attractions was Westport House, so we stopped and looked around. Driving on from Westport, we stopped at the Ballycroy Visitor Centre at the Wild Nephin National Park, then on to Omagh, where we stayed for the night. Once again, we stayed in an abnb with a couple, Sean and Cathy. They were good for a chat and gave Jim a few Guinnesses, which were very much appreciated. 

5th August, we drove through to Belfast, spent the day at the Titanic Museum, and then back to a town called Dungannon, where we stayed in a managed apartment.

6th August - Jim dropped off Maree, Reg and Mary in Belfast and drove to the North East Coast of Ireland to see sights like the Ballentoy Harbour and the Giants Causeway.

The northeast coastline of Ireland is absolutely stunning.
