About Cloghan
Cloghan is a small rural locality in east Donegal, within the F93 area and close to the twin towns of Ballybofey and Stranorlar. It has a quiet, countryside character, with homes and farms spread through the surrounding landscape rather than a compact village centre. Everyday services are generally found in Ballybofey and Stranorlar, while Letterkenny provides a wider range of shopping, healthcare, education and employment opportunities. Families have access to nearby primary and secondary schools in the Finn Valley area, with further education available in Letterkenny. Local travel is mainly car-based, although bus services connect Ballybofey and Stranorlar with Letterkenny, Donegal Town and other parts of Donegal. The twin towns provide supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs, banking and other routine services, alongside leisure facilities and the Balor Arts Centre. The surrounding countryside offers opportunities for walking and outdoor recreation, with the Finn Valley and nearby upland areas adding to the scenic appeal. Cloghan suits residents seeking a peaceful rural setting while remaining within practical reach of the N15 corridor and the larger commercial centres of east and central Donegal.
