Donegal boasts breathtaking scenery, pristine beaches, rugged islands and an amazing selection of fauna & flora, this northern - almost untouched - stretch of the Wild Atlantic Way is must explore. Ballybofey in Irish meaning "valley of the cow" is a small historic town. Some years after the Plantation of Ulster, in the aftermath of Cromwell, possession of the rich land of the Finn Valley was the top priority for Scots and English settlers in Donegal. Their first task was to build their castle-type houses, provide manor houses and build stone bridges across the River Finn which can still be seen to this day. Ballybofey encapsulates the tragedies of the Irish Civil War. Here is were the last four republicans, who subsequently became known as the “Drumboe Martyrs”, were executed by a Free State firing squad in ballybofey in March 1923. A monument rests in commemoration to this day. Contemporary Ballybofey has many great shops such as McElhinneys, voted best independent store in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
