County Donegal
Located in the Province of Ulster, County Donegal is the most northern county of the twenty-six counties of the Republic of Ireland. With its sandy beaches and natural beauty, Co. Donegal is a favored destination for many travelers. It presents spectacular landscapes and seascapes, windswept peninsulas, precipitous cliffs and a host of golden beaches…that rival any in Europe.
The name Donegal comes from the Irish “Dun na nGall” meaning fort of the foreigner. Donegal boasts a vast rugged coastline softened regularly by a succession of beautiful beaches with golden sand and clear fresh waters. The town’s location is ideal for boating activities, but golfing and fishing are popular activities in County Donegal. Other major attractions include Tory Island, Glebe House and Gallery, Colmcille Heritage Centre, Fort Dunree Military Museum and Abbey Mill Wheels.
