Surrounding Area

The area around both Glenties and Dungloe has been described as a fisherman's paradise. The Owenea River runs through Glenties town and is famous for its salmon and trout fishing. The hills that surround the holiday home are dotted with numerous lakes that are filled with trout.

Indeed these hills are also ideal walking terrain. There are a number of excellent signed walks in this part of West Donegal. The Gap Trail  is 2 km outside Glenties This trail follows the route of a former bogcutter's railway and is a nice short excursion. The Bluestack Way is a more challenging route, coming over the Bluestack Mountains from Donegal Town and Lough Eske before coming through Glenties and following the River Owenea to Ardara.  Slí na Finne is a nearby loop route around Fintown Lake and Ballinamore, passing into the Bluestack Mountains and The Croaghs.

The holiday home is  also a central base to attend the various annual festivals and other organised events that take place in this part of Donegal. In Glenties, there is the Patrick McGill Summer School, the Harvest Fair Festival and the Fiddlers Weekend. In Dungloe, there is the Internationally renowned Mary from Dungloe Festival and a festival dedicated to the local writer Peadar O'Donnell.
