About Clonmany
Clonmany is a scenic village on the Inishowen Peninsula in north County Donegal, within the F93 routing area and close to Ballyliffin, Buncrana, Carndonagh and Portsalon. It has a rural, community-minded character, with traditional streets, open countryside and easy access to the coast, mountains and beaches of the Inishowen landscape. Day-to-day life is centred on the village’s local shops, pubs, cafés and services, while Carndonagh and Buncrana provide a broader range of supermarkets, retail and healthcare facilities. Clonmany National School serves local families, with further primary and secondary education available in surrounding peninsula towns. Public transport is limited compared with larger settlements, although Waterfall Stop provides a local bus connection and roads link the village with Buncrana, Carndonagh and Ballyliffin. The area is well placed for outdoor leisure, including walks around Mamore Gap, Urris and the nearby beaches, while Ballyliffin Golf Club is a major regional attraction. Local pubs and food businesses provide informal meeting places, and the village’s clubs, sporting organisations and community groups contribute strongly to its active social life.
