Fahan (pronounced fawn) is located four miles outside Buncrana en route to the historic city of Derry. St. Colmcille founded a monastery in Fahan in the 6th century which features the beautifully carved 7th century St. Mura Cross slab, located in the walled graveyard beside the church. There is a marina in Fahan and water sports can be enjoyed along the Lough.

Buncrana has a few sandy beaches and is a popular lively seaside resort in the summer months. There are Golf courses nearby and a public swimming pool and plenty of fine pubs and restaurants to help you relax at the end of the day.
