Exploring Donegal Town in IRELAND
Exploring Donegal Town in IRELAND
Donegal (/ˌdʌnɪˈɡɔːl, ˌdɒn-/ DUN-ig-AWL, DON-; Irish: Dún na nGall, meaning 'fort of the foreigners') is a town in County Donegal, Ireland. The name was also historically spelt 'Dunnagall'. Although Donegal gave its name to the county, now Lifford is the county town. From the 15th until the early 17th century, Donegal was the 'capital' of Tyrconnell (Tír Chonaill), a Gaelic kingdom controlled by the O'Donnell dynasty of the Northern Uí Néill.
Donegal is in South Donegal and is located at the mouth of the River Eske and Donegal Bay, which is overshadowed by the Blue Stack Mountains ('the Croaghs'). The Drumenny Burn, which flows along the eastern edge of Donegal Town, flows into the River Eske on the north-eastern edge of the town, between the Community Hospital and The Northern Garage.
The Ballybofey Road (the R267) crosses the Drumenny Burn near where it flows into the River Eske. The town is bypassed by the N15 and N56 roads. The centre of the town, known as The Diamond, is a hub for music, poetic and cultural gatherings in the area.

Thank you Brian. Here's a link for another video of mine which may be of interest to you, of a road trip from Donegal to Malin Head (Most Northerly point in Ireland) which gives an idea of the scenery in county Donegal. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJ6flMGEgZyymrQ.html

I absolutely loved my time in Donegal in mid September 2023!!! My family rented an AirBnB and stayed in town for 3 days.
Looks like a nice place.

Estou escrevendo a minha terceira obra. Um romance sobre uma mulher irlandesa, natural de Donegal Town. Mas não conheço o país na realidade. A minha escolha foi quase aleatória. Estou fazendo uma pesquisa bem exaustiva para ser fiel aos fatos reais como alguns eventos históricos do país, o clima, a cultura, a geografia, etc. Obrigado pela matéria.

How much room rent in donegal town
Donegal was never the capital of Donegal or Tirconnell the actual capital was Kilmacrenann near letterkenny and Close by was Doon well and the Crowning stone where the O'Donnell Kings were Crowned as kings of Tirconnell in Termon. It is nice to see Donegal Town in video. A bit quiet on the day.
They will change the names, of the town in Ireland to muilms and net they say Irish rasiet

Only one car has a horn
Been there the once, 1999 i believe, i thought because of all the songs about this place i thought it was a big city but like like most towns in Ireland really really small and somewhat disappointing 😢😢

The songs are about the county not the town specifically. The town and county itself are rather underpopulated but weren't always proportionately to the rest of the country when many of the songs would've been written.
Well this was a whole lot of absolutely nothing.
