Falcarragh (an Fál Carrach)

Falcarragh sits on Donegal's wild northwestern coast, serving as your base for exploring Glenveagh National Park and the remote Atlantic shoreline. The N56 from Letterkenny gets you there in about 45 kilometers, though the roads narrow as you approach the coast. From Dublin it's roughly 280 kilometers via the N4 and N15, while Belfast drivers typically go through Omagh and Donegal town. The area has about 10 public fast chargers scattered around, so plan your stops if you're driving electric. Don't miss Teac Hiúdaí Beag, one of Ireland's last traditional thatched pubs where the locals still chat away in Irish.
