Since I\u2019m obsessed with Ireland, I just had to write about Ireland more<\/a>! All of Ireland\u2019s 32 counties are great, but I’ve chosen to write about Donegal, Ireland, or in Irish D\u00fan na nGall<\/i>.\u00a0Donegal, Ireland is known as the Forgotten County, because it\u2019s the only county in the province of Ulster that is not a part of Northern Ireland. Located in the northwest of Ireland, Donegal is a perfect place to get moving to. Wondering why? I’ll tell you!<\/p>\n

The Scenery of Donegal, Ireland:<\/h3>\n

Donegal is the most mountainous of all the counties in Ulster. Donegal, Ireland is also home to the highest sea cliffs in Ireland, Slieve League, and contains the most northern part of Ireland, Malin Head<\/a>. From the beaches like Rossnowlaugh to Glenveagh National Park<\/a>, the only National Park in the province Ulster, there are so many beautiful places to see in Donegal, Ireland!\u00a0 I highly recommend visiting Glenveagh–it encompasses some 39536.9 acres in the heart of the Derryveagh Mountains. If you want to see some of the most serene scenes in Donegal, Ireland, then go there!<\/p>\n

The History of Donegal, Ireland:<\/h3>\n

As I have mentioned, Donegal, Ireland, is called the Forgotten County. This isolation from the rest of the Republic of Ireland has lead to Donegal, Ireland having a very distinct identity. Donegal feels a little more old-fashioned than the rest of the country. Locals love to say \u201cUp here, it\u2019s different.” If you’re looking for a place unlike the rest, you’ve gotta get moving to Donegal, Ireland.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n
