Teach Ruairí ~ How to get here

Road sign for the pub at Gortahork

Get onto the N56, the main road that runs around the coast of Donegal and head for Gortahork.

If you approach from Falcarragh drive through the village of Gortahork, the road rises over a small hill and continues straight for a short stretch before swinging round to the right. Just before this bend you need to take the steep up hill turn to the left. You'll see our sign (pictured over) above the grass verge to guide you. Continue straight on through the beautiful scenery of Baltoney. You'll come to a V in the road at the Grotto for the Virgin, stay right and we are just over the next hill.

If you are coming from Dungloe or Gweedore direction,
as you come into Gortahork the swings right and sweeps down into the outlying buildings of the village. The road swings left past a petrol station / shop on the right, just past this you need to take a sharp up hill turn to the right. Continue straight on through the beautiful scenery of Baltoney. You'll come to a V in the road at the Grotto for the Virgin, stay right and we are just over the next hill.
