Clonmany is a charming village and parish on the northern coast of Ireland in County Donegal. This stunning settlement makes a wonderful country cottage retreat. What’s more with mild summers and winters with temperatures that never drop too far plus soaring views over the Atlantic Ocean, it makes for a perfect place to relax for a holiday break. Donegal has a rich history, and several forts, standing stones and dolmens (portal tombs) can be found peppered throughout the beautiful scenery of the village. The Urris area, which is just to the west of the parish of Clonmany, was the last defender of the Irish language in the peninsula of Inishowen, which is located within the county of Donegal, which furthers the area’s history and importance in Ireland.
