Glencolmcille is
situated on the Slieve League Peninsula at the
south-west point of Donegal - an area starting
to be known as the Donegal Highlands. The area
is bounded on the south by the mountains of Slieve
League (Sliabh Liag) and Leahan and on the north
by Slieve Tooey. To the west lies the restless
Atlantic Ocean.
Glencolmcille is a place of tremendous natural
beauty and changing colours ... mountains, lakes,
sea cliffs and beaches; a place of quiet roads,
stone walls and fuschia-bordered lanes. It is
an ancient corner of Ireland witnessed by the
sites of dwellings and the tombs of the Megalithic
period and by the cross inscribed stones of early
Christianity. |

Glencolmcille is a haven of peace and
relaxation for those desiring a holiday in an unspoilt
environment. We welcome you and hope you enjoy yourselves
here and that you will come back again .... and again.
If you would like to contribute an article
about the area, or originate from Gleanncholmcille and
have some stories to tell of growing up in Glen, and
the changes the years have brought, we would love to
hear from you!
