and restaurants, where warm-hearted locals wait to serenade the
weary traveller with a traditional Irish tune or two. Got your

Unearth the history of County Donegal with
a Ballyshannon Cottage
Allegedly the oldest settlement on the
Emerald Isle, Ballyshannon is the ideal place for the budding
historian. The town's history dates back to around 4,000BC,
with numerous ancient artefacts having recently been unearthed.
Discover the tomb of the Aed Ruad, the High King of Ireland,
beneath the imposing St. Anne's Church, or step forward in
history and snap a photo of the commemorative statue of Rory
Gallagher, a prevalent Irish rock guitarist who died in 1995. If
history isn't your thing, take one of the many walking trails
out of town and get lost amid the rugged landscapes of County
Donegal. One of most invigorating Ballyshannon walking trails is
the Creevy Shore Walk, a cliff top route which extends for 10km
along the inspiring South Donegal coastline. The route's great
for cyclists too, so why not get pedalling on your action packed
holiday in Ballyshannon.
