Part of the Republic of Ireland, but located in the province of Ulster, County Donegal is the most northwesterly county in Ireland. It is mostly isolated from the rest of the Republic by its boarder with Northern Ireland. With its rugged Atlantic coastline, its mountainous interior, its rich history, its proud Irish Language heritage and many outdoor activities, Donegal is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country.
Donegal town sits at the heart of Donegal Bay, on the River Eske estuary. Like so many other Irish towns, its origins date back to a Viking settlement. It is home to the beautiful Donegal Castle, a 16th century tower-house structure, dating back to the O'Donnell family (a famous Gaelic ruling family). It was originally enclosed in a 15th century bawn wall, which was rebuilt in the 17th century. The castle has recently been renovated and is open daily to the public. The Town also has a famous market square, known as the 'Diamond' and is home to a 15th century Franciscan abbey. However, Donegal town is not the main town of the county. This honour falls to Lifford, a town on the boarder with County Tyrone.
Donegal has a strong Irish language tradition and a well-known Gaeltacht area (Irish speaking area). The type of Irish spoken here is better known as the West Ulster dialect. This dialect's influence is found throughout Ulster's Irish speaking areas and is noticeably different that that spoken in the south of the country.
