Travelbiz goes wild
18th August 2022 at 12:00 pm Jacinta Mc Glynn (Senior Reporter Travelbiz) releases her inner wild child to visit a wonderful animal sanctuary in north Donegal. Set on 23 acres of natural woodland in Dundrain, Burnfoot, and the brain-child of Killian Mc Laughlin from Buncrana, Killian has created Wild Ireland, the perfect habitat to re-wild this already untamed part of beautiful Donegal. A man of vision, Killian has always had strong views about indigenous animals and now, close to the border with Derry, this remote area is a happy and natural home for brown bears, European wolves, lynx, ancient wild sheep, fallow deer and wild boar - animals that would have been common in these parts many years ago.
