Burtonport

Burtonport is a fishing village on the west coast of Donegal, in the "Gaeltacht" or Irish-speaking area, and also in an area known as the "Rosses". It is 7km northwest of Dungloe, which is the largest town in the area. While in the area it is well worthwhile paying a visit to award-winning Lobster Pot, which is a family-run pub with a national reputation for fresh home-cooked seafood and warm hospitality.

From the pier, there is a regular ferry service to and from Arranmore Island, with several crossings a day from each end. The island is about 5km offshore, and the crossing takes 20 minutes.  For more information and services on Arranmore Island please see www.arranmoreisland.ie
