Buncrana is a very accessible town for travellers, as it is only 43 kilometres (27 miles) from Letterkenny, Donegal’s largest city.
Buncrana was chosen because it rests on the banks of Lough Swilly, producing a gorgeous setting typical of the county, with views of the town, the sea, and the hills.
Lough Swilly is one of only three glacial fjords in Ireland, located on the western side of the Inishowen Peninsula. Close to Buncrana, Fort Dunree and Grianán of Aileach are both worth seeing.
