About
The old coastguard station on Doneraile Drive, a grey stone terrace with red brick dressings and a lookout tower, restored as a cultural centre with a cafe, gallery spaces, a craft shop and seafront gardens on the clifftop. It is open seven days: weekdays from nine, weekends and bank holidays from ten, both to half four, with lunch served noon to four. It sits directly on the Doneraile Walk, which makes it the natural halfway stop on the cliff walk rather than a separate trip.
