The market town of Donegal is located at the head of Donegal Bay on Ireland's north-west coast. Situated on the River Eske and overlooked by the rugged Blue Stack Mountains, Donegal is popular not only for its imposing scenery but for fishing, boating and a remarkable sense of history. The town's most dramatic landmark is the recently restored Donegal Castle, which dates back to the 15th Century, and further along the Eske are the remains of a Franciscan friary from the same period. Donegal also recalls the past with several fine churches, various monuments, and the fascinating Railway Heritage Centre. Outdoor activities include excellent lake and river fishing at Eske Angling Centre, and there are boat trips into Donegal Bay for fishing, diving and sightseeing, with whales, dolphins, seals and tuna frequently spotted. Back on dry land, Bank Walk along the west side of the Eske gives delightful views over the bay. Donegal also acts as a base for walking weekends, while families enjoy days out on the long sandy beaches nearby. The town's Art Gallery and Craft Village are well worth visiting. In the evenings, the pubs around The Diamond - the town centre - burst into life with live music.
