County Donegal
Despite it’s location as part of the ancient province of Ulster, Donegal became part of the Irish Free State during the partition of 1922. Home to some of the early Irish Kings, Donegal was long ruled by the O’Donnell family, before becoming one the last counties to fall to English rule in 1603. Although swept by the winds of the Atlantic, crops, predominantly barley and wheat are grown; nevertheless the terrain is generally mountainous, boggy and more suited to livestock. Wool from the fleece of the hardy sheep, are homespun into colourful Donegal Tweeds, perhaps one of Irelands most famous exports.
