Dungloe is the
biggest town in West Donegal, the focal point of Na Rosa or in
English ‘The Rosses’. The town is known all over Ireland and further
afield as the home of Mary from Dungloe, and of the festival called
after her. It was founded in the 1960s and it has been frequented by
many special guests over the years including Daniel O’Donnell, Cliff
Richard, Gay Byrne and Sharon Shannon. The picturesque Dungloe Bay
and surrounding hills have proved very popular with visitors and
have enabled Dungloe to sustain a healthy tourism industry. There is
also a festival dedicated to the socialist writer Peadar O'Donnell
in Dungloe each autumn. A little to the north of the town is the
site of the ancient church of Templecrone. It is a lively town, and
not only during the festival, and attracts many anglers who fish in
the huge number of freshwater lakes in the Rosses. |
