Glencolmcille Folk Village, Dooey
After soaking up the glory of the Slieve League cliffs, take a short drive to the fascinating Glencolmcille Folk Village. Here in Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) territory, the local community built a cluster of traditional thatched cottages on a hillside overlooking Glenbay beach.
Embark on a guided tour, where a well-informed local will walk you through centuries of rural living, exploring homes, a school house, a fisherman’s dwelling and the quintessentially Irish pub-grocer building – where customers could stock up on food essentials and socialise with a pint after!
