We visited Ardara for the first time recently, during a trip to Donegal. It’s such a beautiful place. I can’t believe I hadn’t visited before!

We spent the afternoon at the stunning Maghera Beach; climbing the dunes, cliffs, exploring the caves, paddling in the sea and of course sketching! It’s such a characterful place. I’d love to base a whole project on it at some point.

We rounded the afternoon off with food and a few pints at the very cosy Nancy’s Bar in Ardara. Is there anything better after a day by the sea?!
