The principal and largest town in the peninsula,
Buncrana sits prominently on the shore of Lough
Swilly, which translates, from Gaelic into the very
appropriate “Lake of Shadows”. The importance
of Lough Swilly to Buncrana during WWI became
evident when Admiral Jellicoe moved his grand
fleet from Scapa Flow to Lough Swilly. The Clan
Ó’Dochartaigh has had a long affiliation with
this town. The historic Ó’Dochartaigh’s Keep at
the entrance to Swan Park sits beside Buncrana
Castle, which is accessible via the Crana Bridge.
This is also the starting point of the costal walk to
Fr Hegarty’s Rock.Nearby is the location where
the famous Irish revolutionary, Theobald Wolfe
Tone, was captured on board a French warship
during the 1798 rebellion. The town today has
an abundance of bars and restaurants, nearby
beaches and a children’s play area.
