Mountcharles is a
small town or village some four miles west of Donegal Town, and
recently by-passed by the national route taking the large lorries to
and from Killybegs. The village is named for its founder, Charles
Conyngham, an ancestor of Lord Henry Mountcharles of Slane Castle,
County Meath. Conyngham is credited with building the village in the
17th century. The Conyngham estate and its large estate house, close
to the village, are now unoccupied. This is the ideal base for
exploring Donegal with its miles and miles of mountains with inland
lakes, the rugged coastline with its many bays and great expanses of
sandy beaches, Donegal caters for all - there are championship golf
courses, horse-riding, island trips, boating, surfing, fishing,
mountain trekking. Nearby there are numerous hotels with sports
facilities for non-residential guests, and wonderful restaurants and
pubs full of day and night entertainment not to mention Guinness as
you have never tasted it before. |
