Letterkenny

Historic market town in County Donegal

Letterkenny is the main town of County Donegal, so plan to stop by if you’re in the area. Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Donegal, the town offers a delightful blend of natural beauty, rich history and warm hospitality.

As the main centre of the region, Letterkenny is known for its vibrant arts and culture scene as well as its great nights out. You’ll also find plenty of traditional Irish pubs and cosy eateries to try here.

The history of Letterkenny goes back centuries as it was officially a market town in the 1600s. Make sure to wander along its high street to find charming boutiques selling Irish crafts and handmade goods.

The town’s jewel is the St. Eunan’s Cathedral that you’re sure to spot with its distinct tall spire. Letterkenny was even nicknamed “Cathedral Town” thanks to the importance of St. Eunan’s.

Another highlight to visit while you’re in town is the Donegal County Museum. Here you’ll be able to immerse yourself in the region’s fascinating history. The gallery features artefacts for a comprehensive look at the local heritage.

Nearby, you won’t want to miss the grandeur of Glenveagh. Only a short drive away from Letterkenny, this national park is a haven for nature lovers.
