A Visit to Blanket Nook Donegal

A Visit to Blanket Nook

Date: April 18, 2026
Time: 10:00 am
Location: Meet at Kernan's Diner, Newtown Cunningham
Our Donegal branch invite you to join them for a visit to Blanket Nook Co. Donegal Blanket Nook is an extremely unique site in that it was reclaimed in the 19th century similar to Inch levels in Burt, through the construction of an embankment cutting off over 1000 acres of mudflat from the Swilly estuary. The lands have been drained to create flat, large, fertile fields that are a disparate feature within this contrasting landscape. This land reclamation has created a habitat for a wealth of wildlife and as such Blanket Nook forms part of two Natura 2000 sites designated under the EU Habitats and Bird Directives.
