Sheskinmore Nature Reserve

Sheskinmore refers to a large area of sand dunes, lake and marsh that lies between Kiltooris and Ballinreavy Strand, north west of Ardara, Co. Donegal. The area is designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), a Special Protection Area (SPA) and a Wildfowl Sanctuary. The area is easily accessed from the gate at Mullyvea opposite Kiltooris Lough.

Beagh Cottage

Denis’s Cottage Ardara

Ard a Mhaoire – Ardara

The property is managed by NPWS to maximise its biodiversity. The area is rich in marsh and dune plants and supports a wide variety of invertebrates and birds. The cereal plot at the Mullyvea entrance was first planted in 2004 to feed finches and buntings during the winter months. Another plot is planned for Sandfield. The site is winter grazed to encourage floral diversity and cow pats are also a source of food for foraging chough. Stocking rates are periodically reviewed and horses may at times be grazed on the site.

Various methods have been tried to control bracken. A sluice is in place to control water levels at the lough in order to protect the slender naiad population. In 2007 McGlinchey’s house at Sandfield was fully restored and is now used as a field studies centre.

I cannot praise highly enough the service provided by Brian in setting up two very different advertisements for both of my properties. All of the needs and requirements I had were kindly met and thanks to Brian's dedicated and efficient input, the advertisements were put together in a really prompt and professional way. Nothing was a problem to Brian and we really do appreciate all his hard work in getting this project up and running.

Brian has been excellent in accommodating requests, answering queries and suggesting ways to better showcase our cottage. He has provided a very fast response time, with links that work both well and intuitively and I think Annie’s River Retreat Cottage has been very well presented, and received, from the feedback I have got from friends. Thank you!
