Description
The Glencolmcille valley is in the extreme South West corner of County Donegal. An outlying district in the Republic of Ireland's outlying county. There is no passing traffic.
It is within a Gaeltacht (that is one of Ireland's regions where Irish Gaelic is the first language amongst the locals). Hence the signs are in Irish such as the one for "Malainn Bhig” (which is known as “Malin Beg” in English.)
For the visitors who come here to learn the Irish language that is not a problem. They can often be found between classes sitting outside “Biddy's Crossroads Bar” on the opposite side of the junction.
Glencolmcille is a classic flat-floored glaciated valley. At the end where it opens to the Atlantic there is a gorgeous sandy beach. The hills on either side are much beloved by ramblers and hill-walkers.
