Introducing Ardara
Exquisite and scenically positioned Ardara (Árd an Rátha) represents the heart of Donegal’s knitwear and hand-woven tweed tradition. There isn’t a whole lot going on here, although the town has a couple of sterling pubs. Once you’ve restocked on winter woollies, head for the switchbacks of the beautiful Glen Gesh Pass, which begins just west of the town.

Tourist information is available from the Triona Design visitor centre. On the diamond there’s an Ulster Bank with an ATM; the post office is a short walk away on Main St.
