Our ‘why Donegal is cool’ list! Have you got one?

Right now Donegal is cooler than Conor McGregor on a skiing holiday.

National Geographic has told its many readers that we’re the coolest place on the planet and now independent.ie says we are Ireland’s hidden gem.

Most of us who proudly call Donegal our home just take that for granted, whether we live in Bundoran, Ballybofey or Buncrana (and the places in between.)

But if we stop and think about it, we really do have so much to be proud of.

We at Donegal Daily tried to scratch the surface of why other people might think we’re a great place to visit.

This is our little list but we welcome all other suggestions both to our Facebook page and to info@donegaldaily.com
