The Principal town and resort on the lovely Inishowen Peninsula, Buncranna boasts a 5km sandy beach. Buncranna's Irish name means 'Foot of the River' and one of its delights is the walk under beech, maple and lime trees beside the waters of the River Crana. By the six arched bridge is the square keep of the 15th century Buncrana Castle, where Wolfe Tone (1763-1798) was brought after his capture in 1798.
The Crana River is an excellent salmon river and it adorns Swan Park, a haven of peace for the stroller. Other attractions include Tullyarvin Mill, The National Knitting Centre and Inishowen Genealogical Centre.
