It is the youngest village in Inishowen dating from the middle of the last century and yet perhaps because it is less known it has an old-world atmosphere and charm seldom found in the commercialised resorts of today. Spoil yourself with a swim in Binion Strand, a walk on the cliffs at Duna Head or a visit to the waterfall at Glenevin where the river tumbles 30 feet over a pitch black rock into a foaming pool. At Rockstown there is a fine example of a raisd beach. Two miles east of Clonmany on the slope of Magheramore Hill, there is a Bronze Age dolmen with a massive capstone traditionally called 'Finn McCool's Finger Stone.' The legend says it was thrown by Fin from Sliabh Snacht at naother giant on Coolcross Hill.https://www.irelandnorthwest.ie/Destinations/Donegal/Clonmany/https://www.irelandnorthwest.ie/festivals/music-festivals//clonmany-festival-l402.htmlClonmany Festival is Ireland's longest running and most well known family festival.

This is a nostalgic and somewhat melancholic journey back into the past. It delves into a time when life in Ireland was tough, but life on the furthest fringes of the Atlantic coast was unbelievably difficult. Because life expectancy was so short, most families had large numbers of children. If, against all odds, they survived, the family lands would be divided up again and again to the point when the fields were simply too small to farm. And so, in the end plot sizes were so small that poverty and shortage of food was endemic across much of the country. And yet despite these privations, life went on and music, poetry, and schooling were very important. The Doagh Famine Village is a rare treasure because it is built around past generations of Pat Doherty’s own family. It is a living museum, therefore, and a story of a family who survived, since Pat Doherty is there before us. But survive, they did, and Pat is happy to tell the story, from those tragic days right up to the present times. Doagh Famine Village contains a wide selection of full size attractions, including some original dwellings which were still inhabited up to 20 years ago. Some of the buildings of Doagh Famine Village, such as the Orange Hall, Presbyterian Meeting House, Mass Rock and Hedge School and a Republican Safe House, depict the diverse history and culture of this corner of the Inishowen peninsula. Other buildings house information on the travelling community’s culture and other Irish traditions such as food, cures and the ‘Irish Wake’, a traditional send-off for the dead. The Doagh Famine Village is different to any other tourist attraction in Ireland. It depicts life as it was in those days, uncommercialised, interdenominational, and interspersed with humorous anecdotes of Irish life. It also explains the road to peace in Northern Ireland, Ireland in the Celtic Tiger years and the recent economic collapse. Admission includes a guided tour, refreshments and entrance into Donegal Haunted House. To get to the Doagh Famine Village follow the R238 north from Buncrana, and follow local roads and signage from Ballyliffin to Doagh.
