“Walking is a man’s best medicine.”

The Lough Chonaill Railway Walk is just over a mile from my home, and covers 1.1 km of the route which The Lough Swilly Railway Company used to transport fish and other goods from the village of Burtonport to the city of Derry, from 1903 to 1940.

Being a watery Piscean, I love walking alongside water, and this walk certainly lifted my spirits with an abundance of beautiful subjects to photograph.

The Lough Chonaill Railway Walk is just one of many walking initiatives in Donegal. It is well worth paying it a visit.
