Ballybofey is a twin town separated from Stranorlar by a beautiful stone bridge spanning the River Finn. Around the town are pleasant walks along the river and towards the ruined walls of the Elizabeth Drumboe Castle. The area is a haven for the visiting angler, as the River Finn is rich in freshwater fish and reports of game shooting are excellent.
The Finn Valley is rich in drama and culture and the local Balor Arts Centre hosts dramatic productions throughout the year. (Tel: 074 9131840). Ballybofey is also home to the famous Finn Harps, the county’s league of Ireland Soccer team and the county Gaelic Football Team.
