Donegal Town 17 miles; Letterkenny 27 miles.
The picturesque town of Glenties meaning ‘The Glens’ is located in the heart of the Donegal Highlands, at the meeting point of the two glens of the Owenea and Stranaglough rivers on the northwest edge of the Bluestack Mountains. The two rivers, particularly the Owenea are well known for their salmon fishing. Although a small town, Glenties offers a selection of pubs and shops in its busy main street. Glenties is a five times winner of Ireland’s tidiest town and has won the Entente Florale Europe Competition. The area offers visitors a chance of walking in the Bluestack Mountains and enjoying the scenery of the Bluestack Way, the surrounding glens and mountains, and the rugged coast with its bays and beaches. Other attractions include a ring fort, which covers almost the whole of a small island in nearby Lough Doon, the Finntown narrow gauge railway and golfers will appreciate the challenging links course at Portnoo. Glenties makes a superb base for a varied and exciting trip to this part of Ireland.
