Outdoor Adventure Holidays in Donegal

At Gartan we provide  a whole host of outdoor, adventure and environmental education courses and holidays.

Gartan Outdoor Education Centre is superbly located for its many adventure courses and events. Set on our own rambling 87 acre woodland estate, where wild things grow, we’re on the shore of beautiful Lough Gartan in the heart of Donegal, and the Colmcille Heritage area.

The Centre itself is very fine! The main Outdoor Education Centre, a beautiful stone building quietly nestled on the lake shore, is home to most of our excellent facilities.

And then there’s the Boathouse! We call it the ‘Old Lough Veagh Boathouse’ as this is the name that our estate was once known by. Built of wood and stone, with a woodchip heating system, the very comfortable Boathouse  is used mostly for conferences and seminars in Donegal, and outdoor learning courses which don’t require accommodation. The views from here are stunning.

A short lakeshore walk from the main Centre, the Boathouse has all its own changing and showering rooms. Our archery hall and orienteering room are also in the ‘Boathouse’.

We offer far more than just facilities, with courses on a residential and non residential basis, 7 days a week, all year round. For further information please contact us. Or see more on What we Offer here.
