Where are you starting from?
What time of year is it (thinking of day length...)
Will you have a car?
How long are you planning on stopping at any of these places?
Starting from Donegal. you ar probably looking at 5-6 hours driving to cover all of these places PLUS time for stops. So a lot depends on how log you are planning to stop off in any of these places...
Hello
It's a stage of my circuit from Dublin to the geant causeway and back to Dublin but there are so many spots to see on that coast that I need some helps.
It will be in june 2027 and that day I start from Donegal city at 8AM up to Dunfannaghy. The next day I start with Horn head …

We did roughly the reverse in 2023 and I don't remember it being long or painful. We maintained the Google driving times, but it was in early May. We chose different stops, but on the same route. We live near the coast, so beaches aren't a high priority.
Dunfanaghy(dep 9:30am) - Assaranca Falls - Glengesh - Glencolmankille Village (and lunch) - Slieve League - Donegal(arv 4:30pm).
One tip: We followed the signage to the Sliabh Liag Car Park and walked with most folks up the paved access road (about 20min powerwalk each way). When we got back, we asked the ranger why there were so many cars using the access road and he said "you just have to ask and we'll open the gate" which would have shortened the visit or lengthened the time at the top - that may depend on the time of year. Ice cream from the food truck was nice.
It sounds like you're following our 2023 route in reverse. Here's a link to my trip report that might give you some ideas:

We're doing another trip in 2027 that includes more time on the Antrim coast, more time in Derry, Tory Island, Sligo and other points north:

In June with long hours of daylight and an early start from Donegal, you will have plenty of time for this and also stops along the way.
