myriad of rivers to fish, some of Ireland's famous sea trout and salmon

(Aranmore Island) from Ailt A' Chorráin (Burtonport), or travel North-
West to Gaoth Dobhair (Gweedore), situated between Mount Errigal
and An Bun Beag (Bunbeg), with its beautiful beaches. This area is
home to some of Ireland's most famous musicians, such as Enya,
Clannad, Altan and Daniel O'Donnell, whose unique and original

group Clannad. If Irish traditional music is not your cup of tea then a
short drive will bring you to Cionn Caslach (Kincasslagh) where you
can stay and relax in The Viking House Hotel, once owned by Daniel
O'Donnell.
