Ardara is a small heritage town with a big personality. Located in
south-west Donegal where the River Owentocker flows into Loughros
More bay, Ardara is famous for tweeds, hand-knitted woollens and
crafts, all for sale around the town. The Heritage Centre offers an
exhibition explaining the history of Donegal Tweed. It also includes
an art gallery, and a tapestry weaver, a bogwood sculptor and a
silversmith are on hand to demonstrate their skills. Ardara is a
pretty and traditional town with small, fascinating shops and pubs,
but it's not afraid to throw a party. It holds a variety of annual
festivals including weekends of country music, dancing, multicultural
celebration and matchmaking, the four-day Cup of Tae traditional
music knees-up, the International Walking Festival and the ever-
popular Agricultural Show. Ardara is surrounded by some spectacular
scenery. The local ring fort, up on a clifftop, affords wonderful
views over the countryside. Other beauty spots include Maghera Caves,
reached via a splendid silvery beach, and the lush, green Glengesh
Pass. Ardara is within easy reach of golden, Blue Flag beaches, great
golf courses and excellent fishing waters (particularly for salmon
and trout), and boating, watersports and pony trekking are also
popular activities.
