Airport Car Rental
The northernmost and most remote of all the counties, Donegal is sometimes forgotten by visitors of the Republic of Ireland. Those who choose not to overlook it, however, will find a region of stunning coastline, strong cultural heritage, and plenty of hospitality. These are three of County Donegal’s most interesting attractions:
- Letterkenny. A lot of people, including some locals, will tell you that Donegal’s largest town is not an especially notable place and can best be used as a hub for exploring the rest of the region. But while the second part of the statement is true, there’s also plenty to see in Letterkenny if you’re ready to scratch beneath the surface. Attractions include the impressive St. Eunan’s Cathedral, the County Museum, and the historical Corn and Flax Mills.
- Glenveagh National Park. The second-largest national park in Ireland, Glenveagh is the main natural attraction of Donegal. The Derryveagh Mountains, which make up most of the park’s landscape, are home to the red deer and golden eagle, as well as a wealth of local flora. Meanwhile, Glenveagh Castle — the most notable building in the area — is known for its palatial gardens where many unique plant species from abroad can be found.
- Doagh Famine Village. Located in the northernmost part of Donegal, Doagh explains the Great Famine and the repercussions it had for the people of Ireland. The historical lesson is grim, but there’s also plenty to learn about Irish history, traditions, and the spirit of perseverance of the local people. Visit the village’s website to learn more. Doagh is near Five Finger Strand, a scenic beach known for its towering sand dunes.
