The R241 road is a regional road in the north-west of Ireland. It is a coastal road on the eastern side of Inishowen, a peninsula in the north of County Donegal in Ulster. ^[2] The road forms part of the Wild Atlantic Way. ^[3] Part of the road is on the Inishowen Head Loop walking trail. ^[4]

The R241 travels northeast from the R238 at Moville. The road travels along the western shore of Lough Foyle via Greencastle before ending near Inishowen Head at Shrove. ^[1] The Shrove Lighthouses are located here. Originally built in the late 1830s, only the West Lighthouse remains operational. ^[5] The R241 is 9.0 km (5.6 mi) long. ^[1]
