Ballyshannon Hotels & Information

Ballyshannon is a town in County Donegal, Ireland. It is located where the N3 and N15 roads cross the River Erne.

Ballyshannon, which means "The Mouth of Seannach's Ford", after a fifth century warrior Seannach, who was slain here, lies at the mouth of the river Erne. Just west of the town, the Erne widens and its waters meander over a long sandy estuary. The northern bank of the river rises steeply away from the riverbank, while the southern bank is flat with a small cliff that runs parallel to the river. From its idyllic setting the town looks out over the estuary and has panoramic views of mountains, lakes and forests.

The town, with its steep streets, Georgian homes and backdrop of mountains and river, gives the town a sense of character. It is also an area of archaeological and historical significance.
