Donegal tweeds and
knitwear are famous around the world, and it is for its woollen
goods and tweed that Ardara is best known. The small town, with
around 700 inhabitants, is one of the most attractive in the county,
set in the valley where the Owentocker River enters the bay of
Loughros More. The town in fact gives access to three peninsulas: to
the north-west lies the peninsula ending in Dawros Head, home of the
resorts of Portnoo and Narin; to the west the smaller Lughros
peninsula; and to the south west the majestic Sliabh Liag peninsula.
Coming from the direction of Glenties you move down a steep street,
crossing the bridge over the Owentocker to reach the pretty town
centre near the Market House, before the street turns west again for
Killybegs and Gleann Cholmcille, past the Holy Family Catholic
Church (built in 1904), with its stained glass window by Evie Hone. |
