Glencolmcille Folk Village is a thatched cottage coastal village in South West Donegal. Established in 1967, it tells the story of Glencolmcille through the ages. Original artefacts are on display in the cottages, which were constructed from stone taken from period cottages throughout the parish.
The tours are currently self-guided and are available in more than eight languages. There are three audiovisual programs that tell the story of Father McDyer, the local fishing tradition and cinefilm from the 1950’s.
They have adapted a beautiful outdoor dining area and have a great family orientated eating area within this, with a safe area for children to play. They are world renowned for their beautiful vegetable soup and Irish breakfast.
On special occasions you can Meet local crafts people and have a go at making a St. Brigid’s Cross or mending a fishing net.
