    Ok, that's a bit further east than I thought!


    I was going to suggest a left field option which helps if the weather is nice:
    The Inishowen Peninsula in ROI. Ideally via the Lough Foyle Ferry from
    Magilligan Point to Greencastle (£13 return and wonderfully scenic) and on to the Doagh Famine Village http://www.doaghfaminevillage.com/


    We went there a few years ago and I was being a grumpy git about going to a boring folk museum type place, but I really enjoyed it. I think they only got electricity there in the late 80's!


    After that on to Malin Head and explore the local area. There isn't too many places to eat and pee but there is a fantastic and friendly coffee shop in a community centre (with toilets). We had no Euros but they were happy to take sterling. https://www.malinheadcommunity.ie/northern-bites-coffee-shop/
