Creeslough is
situated at the foot of Muckish Mountain, near Sheephaven Bay in
northwest Donegal. It is 10km south of Dunfanaghy and stands on high
ground overlooking an inlet that runs in off Sheephaven. The Irish
word Creeslough means "The Belt of Lakes" - a reference to the many
lakes that surround this charming village. The parish church, St
Michael's is notable for its architecture, being modelled on the
nearby table mountain of Muckish. Nearby attractions include: Doe
Castle, a 16th century castle of the MacSuibhne clan, which has been
restored during recent years. It is perhaps best known as the place
to which Owen Roe O'Neill returned prior to the uprising of 1642.
Ards Forest Park contains some megalithic tombs and a Mass Rock and
which is adjoined by a Franciscan Friary. It has an area of 4.8
square kilometres.
