説明

Travel through into Donegal’s beautiful Inishowen Peninsula to visit an outdoor museum that depicts life in an Irish village during the Great Potato Famine. This scenery-filled journey begins with a stop at the ancient circular stone fort known as the Grianan of Aileach, built atop Greenan Mountain circa 1700 BC. This intriguing and windswept fort, its shape oddly reminiscent of Apple’s new headquarters building in Cupertino, offers absolutely breathtaking peninsula views in every direction. Continuing on toward the northern tip of Inishowen, you’ll be entranced by this impossibly green and hilly Irish landscape dotted with ancient castle ruins and classic thatched cottages – the Ireland you likely conjure up in your dreams. But, lovely as it is, things weren’t always dreamy here. Your visit to the outdoor Doagh Famine Village will confirm this as you explore a faithfully recreated 19th-century Irish village and learn how families survived the harsh conditions during the Great Potato Famine. The venue features thatched houses, period furnishings, a rock where forbidden Catholic Mass was performed in secret and a safe house for those on the lam from authorities. Costumed hosts are on hand to answer questions about life during the famine and how villagers live today.
