County Donegal sits at the north-western edge of Ireland, where the Wild Atlantic Way meets some of the country's most dramatic and least crowded coastline. From towering sea cliffs to Blue Flag beaches, quiet glens to lively market towns, Donegal offers visitors a genuine taste of the Irish coast, and Letterkenny is the natural base from which to explore it all.
Letterkenny: your base in the north-west
As the largest town in the county, Letterkenny is a busy commercial and cultural hub with excellent shops, restaurants, traditional pubs and transport links. It sits roughly equidistant from Derry and the Inishowen Peninsula to the north and the Sligo coast to the south, making it an ideal staging point for contractors on assignment, touring visitors and holidaymakers alike. The town has a strong dining scene, a thriving arts and festival calendar, and easy access to some of Donegal's best-known landmarks.
Beyond the town
Beyond Letterkenny, the county unfolds in every direction: the great Atlantic cliffs at Slieve League, the sweeping sands of Murvagh and Rossnowlagh, the Gaelic-speaking communities of the Gaeltacht, and the wild beauty of Glenveagh National Park and its castle. Whether you are here for work or for a holiday, Donegal rewards longer stays, and Wild Atlantic Stays provides comfortable, well-equipped accommodation and expertly managed holiday homes across the region.
