361. Pettigoe

Pettigoe, on the edge of Donegal, is a unique Irish border-village. Strategically situated at a "cross roads", between Lough Erne and Lough Derg, between North and South, Pettigoe has always had a name for hospitality.

In Celtic times it was the "Place of the Blacksmith" and for medieval Europe it was the gateway to the Purgatory of St. Patrick. The 17th and 18th centuries saw Pettigoe become a famous market-place and in more recent times its frontier location made it a "smugglers paradise".

Pettigoe provides the visitor with an excellent base for touring Counties Donegal, Fermanagh, Leitrim, Sligo, Tyrone and Derry. Within a half-hour's drive there are two 18 hole golf-courses, blue flag beaches, an aquatic centre and all water-sport and swimming facilities. Beside, the Marble Arch Caves, Yeat's Country, the Ulster American Folk Park and the Giant's Causeway are approximately one hour distant.
