Travel Geeks: NGT presents the Cool List — with Donegal
Tweet Share
Panel session and Q&A with guest speakers. Following the success of The Cool List 2017 in January, we take you through the destinations that have got us travelling this year. From Donegal to Seoul, Sudan to New Zealand — we’ll be covering 2017’s hotspots.

Guest speaker Bren Whelan will share the many reasons to visit our top destination, Donegal in Ireland, from surfing beaches in Magheraroarty and Ballyhiernan Bay to Horn Head — a driving, walking or cycling loop that squeezes the 1,600-mile Wild Atlantic Way into a 4.5-mile nutshell.
