Ballyshannon is the oldest town in Ireland located in a pretty setting providing panoramic views of mountains, lakes and forests. It is an ideal base from which to explore the coastline and enjoy self catering Ballyshannon.

It was the birthplace of the famous poet William Allingham and the great rock guitarist Rory Gallagher. The Rory Gallagher Tribute festival attracts thousands of visitors to the area every May and is the largest music festival in the North West. The traditional folk festival occurs in August and that also attracts large crowds.
