Introducing Donegal Town
It’s picturesque enough, but Donegal town is more of a gateway to the county than a destination in itself. The town has plenty of hotels and pubs, and an old castle guards a bend in the River Eske, just a block from the central diamond. County Donegal’s true treasures are just a few hours drive to the northwest of here.

This spot was once a stamping ground of the O’Donnells, the great chieftains who ruled the northwest from the 15th to 17th centuries. These days it’s a far more sedate spot. If you’re coming from the south, Donegal town makes a pleasant pit stop.
