mountainous midlands form Ireland's second largest Gaeltacht
region. The Donegal Gaeltacht is a breathtaking land of great
mountains and lake-filled valleys fringed by the unpolluted seas of
the Atlantic. Fronted by a craggy coastline necklaced with safe, quiet,
sandy beaches, here lies a tranquil land rich in heritage and folklore,
a land that contains a wealth of cultural strengths, a strong sense of
its own identity and uniqueness. The Donegal Gaeltacht is a vibrant
and delightfully different experience, still retaining the intermingled
cultures of the Celt and the Gael. But don't take our word for it, come
and see for yourself...
work in Donegal's cultural heartland. A treasure house of all that is
best in a rich Gaelic heritage of life in times past - of great music,
song and dance. But here, also, is a land of stunning beauty. Quiet
and unpolluted beaches look out on timeless islands like Rathlin
O'Beirne, Tory and Gola. Mountains like the white-faced Errigal stand
sentinel over forest parks and fish-filled lakes and rivers.
