Glencolumbkille

Many houses dot the slopes of this glen, which runs back in between the hills from Glen Bay, in surroundings at once peaceful and strikingly picturesque. A popular holiday destination for families, Glencolumbkille lies in the heart of the Irish-speaking area of South Donegal. It is named for St Colmcille who had his retreat house here, and many relics remain from that time.
