Bridgend

united kingdom

Bridgend sits along Donegal's northwest coast where the hills roll down to meet the Atlantic. The N13 connects you to Letterkenny 25 kilometers southeast and continues north to Derry, while the R238 hugs the dramatic coastline. From Dublin, take the N4 to Sligo, then N15 through Donegal town before joining the N13. Belfast drivers can use the A6 to Derry, then cross the border via A2/N13. City of Derry Airport is just a short drive across the border. The local pubs host some of Donegal's finest traditional music sessions, drawing musicians from across the region every weekend.
