Global crises come and go. Not so the climate emergency and loss of biodiversity. This crisis is here to stay and in our betrayal of nature, we have caused it. Irreparable damage to Planet Earth, our home, has already happened. Now is the time to act much more decisively to halt further damage. If we don’t look after our home, where will we live? The challenge presented by climate change and loss of biodiversity is being answered by everyone; local communities, governments and global agencies.

  • Killybegs Harbour Centre & South West Donegal, Ireland Access To
    Killybegs Harbour Centre & South West Donegal, Ireland Area Information Killybegs is situated on the North West Coast of Ireland with the newest harbour facility in the country which opened in 2004. The area around the deep fjord-like inlet of Killybegs has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The town was named in early Christian times, the Gaelic name Na Cealla Beaga referring to a group of monastic cells. Interestingly, and perhaps surprisingly in a region not short of native saints, the town’s patron saint is St. Catherine of Alexandria. St. Catherine is the patron of seafarers and the association with Killybegs is thought to be from the 15th Century which confirms that Killybeg’s tradition of seafaring is very old indeed. The area is rich in cultural & historical history having a long association with marine history dating back to the Spanish Armada. Donegal is renowned for the friendliness & hospitality of its people and that renowned ‘Donegal Welcome’ awaits cruise passengers & crew to the area from where a pleasant travel distance through amazing sea & mountain scenery of traditional picturesque villages with thatched cottages takes you to visit spectacular castles and national parks. Enjoy the slow pace of life for a day while having all the modern facilities of city life. Access to the area Air access Regular flights are available from UK airports and many European destinations to Donegal Airport which is approx an hour’s drive from Killybegs City of Derry Airport approx 1 hour 20 mins drive from Kilybegs International flights available to and from Knock International Airport 2 hours and 20 minutes drive with public transport connections.
