Donegal Town Located at the mouth of Donegal Bay in the North-West of Ireland and surrounded by the vista of the Blue Stack mountains, the area offers a rugged beauty and mystique that you are unlikely to find anywhere else in the world!

In 1474, they were responsible for bringing the Franciscan monks to Donegal when the Franciscan Abbey was built. |
