Donegal Airport in Carrickfinn lies just over two miles southwest of Bunbeg, County Donegal, Ireland. Located on the coast, the airport is only 15 minutes from Dungloe and Gweedore, and a 45-minute drive from Letterkenny. With so many popular towns within easy reach of the airport, Enterprise Rent-A-Car is a great choice to get you on the road to wherever you need to go when touring the area. Upon leaving the airport in your hire car, it's easy to get to the major routes such as the N14 and N56, which connect you to various places. While in the area, visit Glenveagh Castle, with plenty of parking and super 19th to 20th century antique furniture and paintings. Tropical World to the northeast of Letterkenny has an amazing collection of insects and animals, with a bug hut, butterflies and beautiful birds for everyone to enjoy. Glebe House and Gallery to the southwest of Letterkenny is a fabulous place set in picturesque gardens with easy parking for your hire car. If you're feeling adventurous, drive the Wild Atlantic Way, a three-day drive along County Donegal's beautiful coastline, including Ireland's most northerly point, Malin Head, the cliffs at Sliabh Liag and picturesque Fanad Head.
