Introducing Falcarragh & Gortahork
The Irish-speaking Falcarragh (An Fál Carrach) and neighbouring Gortahork (Gort an Choirce) are small workaday settlements. You’ll find more tourist amenities up the road in Dunfanaghy, but these towns afford an opportunity to experience life in the Gaeltacht region and there’s a good beach nearby.

The 19th-century police barracks now houses Falcarragh Visitor’s Centre (An tSean Bheairic; 918 0888; 9am-5pm Mon-Fri, noon-5pm Sat & Sun), which has tourist information and a café. The Bank of Ireland at the eastern end of Main St has an ATM and bureau de change, and the post office is at Main St’s western end in Falcarragh.
