© North West TourismDonegal's national primary road network is 160 kilometres long. The only national secondary road in the county is the N56.
It begins in Donegal Town and goes westwards through Mountcharles and Dunkineely before turning north through Ardara, Glenties, and Dungloe and on to Letterkenny.
As more and more cars, buses and trucks fill our roads and towns, new bypasses are constructed to relieve traffic congestion.
The only airport in the county operates out of Carrickfin, in the Donegal Gaeltacht. Daily flights depart for Dublin, Scotland, England and Wales, with connections at Dublin to European destinations.
There are a number of islands off the coast of Donegal which are still inhabited.
Island dwellers and visitors to the island use ferries to transport themselves and goods between the islands and the mainland.
There is also a ferry service across Lough Swilly, servicing the towns of Rathmullan and Buncrana.
