Fintown is a small
village in County Donegal on the banks of Lough Finn. It is situated
within the Gaeltacht, an Irish-speaking area, in the west of the
county. Overlooked by Aghla and Screig Mountains, its main
attraction is Donegal's only operational narrow gauge railway. The
Fintown Railway is the only operational railway in Co. Donegal. Set
amidst spectacular highland scenery overlooking Lough Finn, the
railway (3 m/5km) is a restored section of the former County Donegal
Railway. This setting prompted the famous international playwright
Brian Friel to pronounce “What is on offer is a unique journey along
the shores of a lake as grand as any in Switzerland or Minnesota”.
Bealach na Gaeltachta is a Waymarked Way which can begin/end in
either Doochary or Fintown. It takes you through some of Donegal's
finest woodland walking and a modest climb just north of Fintown
gives spectacular views across the surrounding countryside. |
