A leisurely day trip...

I took a quick day trip to here from L'derry/Derry in Northern Ireland one Saturday. It was decent. I thought it was a cool town with potential, but I've had several Irish people tell me that they consider it to be a dump. I didn't think it was a dump, but I was amazed at the number of tourists that were there that day.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:A river runs through it with nice walk and restaurant along it.
  • Cons:A lot of over priced tourist shops.
  • In a nutshell:Go to Donegal to buy your woolen items instead.
