The R247 is a regional road on the Fanad peninsula in northern County Donegal.
Starting from a junction with the R245 in Ramelton it runs first up the east coast of the peninsula through Rathmullan to the townland of Saltpans, where the onward road becomes the R268 heading for Portsalon and our route turns left to cross to the western shore at Kerrykeel (spelled Carrowkeel on some maps).
After being subsumed by the northbound R246 for some 3 km, the R247 turns off left in the townland of Carlan Lower to continue its independent existence, ending at the northern tip of the peninsula at Cionn Fhanáda (Fanad Head).
