Magical, romantic, dramatic and utterly memorable, Donegal is a natural idyll - invigorating and inspiring in winter, tranquil and warm in summer, this place has landscapes that will be etched in your memory forever. Linked by an ancient culture and a crashing coastline the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking areas) of Donegal retains its own individual identity. Test whether you've a head for heights at the towering cliffs of Slieve League or take a walk in Glenveagh National Park and watch eagles soar overhead. Discover the unique character and artistic heritage of this dynamic county at the Earagail Arts Festival or take a tour of Donegal Castle, built by the O'Donell chieftains in the 15th century.
