Family Travel with Colleen Kelly - Ireland: Galway to Donegal
Colleen is back in Ireland, but this time she is taking a family friendly tour of the Wild Atlantic Way! Colleen flies into the gateway to the west of Ireland, Shannon Airport where she starts her trip highlighting family friendly attractions in the area. From there, Colleen joins a family on a kayaking expedition in Galway and learns about the local connection to the iconic Claddagh ring. Not far from Galway City, Colleen visits Cnoc Suain, a Gaelic cultural retreat, where she learns about the use of seaweed in the Irish culinary scene, plays the tin whistle with a leading expert and even dances to an Irish tune.
The vacation continues north in Donegal where families learn about the history of the area at Donegal Castle. Other families visited Glencolmcille Folk Village, where families can go back in time and learn about life in Ireland during past centuries. The children learn how rope was made, help spin wool, and even make traditional Bridget’s Crosses, a symbol of luck in Irish homes. Colleen enjoys a catch and cook experience in Killybegs, where she catches a monkfish that she then prepares with the chef at Kitty Kelly’s restaurant. The Wild Atlantic Way offers a unique experience for families who want to experience Ireland’s history, culture and adventure!

Dungloe County Donegal
The bustling town of Dungloe is the capital of The Rosses area of West Donegal. The area is bounded in the south by the Gweebarra River and by the Gweedore River to the north. The eastern boundary is defined by the Derryveagh Mountains, where Glenveagh National Park and Mount Errigal are located. The landscape of the Rosses area is rugged and is studded with a myriad of lakes and inlets of the sea. It includes the towns and townlands of Dungloe, Kincasslagh, Doochary, Loughanure Lettermacaward, Ranafast and Annagry, and the inhabited island of Arranmore Island. Other small islands are Inisfree, Iniscaoragh and Owey Island. Cruit Island is linked to the rest of the region by bridge and it boasts a challenging and vey scenic nine-hole golf course
Dungloe hosts a number of festivals and other organised events throughout the year catering for almost every taste. These include the internationally renowned Mary Form Dungloe Festival which takes place each summer. During this 10-day event visitors to Dungloe are treated to a fantastic programme of music, song, dance and street entertainment. There is also a festival dedicated to the local writer Peadar O'Donnell each autumn. Nearby Burtonport has an 8 day summer festival in July each year catering for all age groups.
One of the main reasons why people come to the Dungloe area is its reputation as a great place for fishing. This is due in no small part to the work of the Rosses Angling Association. With over 130 lakes, the area is renowned for both lake and river fishing. It is also a good base for sea angling with several charter boats based in nearby Burtonport
