Donegal Scenery : Images of Donegal

Donegal cottages  Donegal cottage  Ireland cottages  Cottages in Donegal

The dozen or so images below should whet your appetite for the veritable feast that will fill your eyes when you come to Donegal. Every single one of these scenes is within an hour’s drive of Donegal Thatched Cottages…………many of them much closer, some within a few miles. However it is still our view that nothing quite matches the setting around the thatched cottages and the general rockscape of Cruit Island. All of the stunning images below are copyright of Paul Gallagher at www.picturesdirect.com, where you may purchase the image of your choice and have it forwarded to your home by priority air mail. Our thanks to Paul. Enjoy.
