About Donegal
Donegal is a town in County Donegal, located in the province of Ulster in northwest Ireland. Despite lending its name to the county, it is not the county town—that title belongs to Lifford. Donegal sits at the mouth of the River Eske and Donegal Bay, backed by the Blue Stack Mountains.
The town has deep historical roots. From the 15th to the early 17th century, Donegal served as the capital of the Gaelic kingdom of Tyrconnell, ruled by the O'Donnell dynasty. It remains an important cultural hub, with the town centre—known as The Diamond—serving as a focal point for music and poetry.
Donegal is bypassed by the N15 and N56 national roads, ensuring good connectivity while maintaining the town’s tranquil charm. The Irish name Dún na nGall translates to "fort of the foreigners," a nod to its storied past and strategic coastal location.
