Letterkenny

united kingdom

Letterkenny is County Donegal's main commercial hub, sitting in the River Swilly valley with about 17,600 residents. The N13 and N14 connect it to Derry (33 km), Dublin (239 km), and Belfast (147 km), with around 20 public EV chargers for the journey through remote Donegal terrain. Atlantic Technological University adds student life to the main street that slopes down from St. Eunan's Gothic Revival cathedral toward the river. The town serves as your base for exploring Mount Errigal and the Derryveagh Mountains (45 km west), Glenveagh National Park (25 km), and the dramatic Slieve League cliffs (100 km south). St. Eunan's Cathedral, completed in 1901, earned Letterkenny its "Cathedral Town" nickname with its distinctive spire and intricate Celtic stonework.
