R252 to Dungloe
A tiny hamlet sits along a sparkling river by the Derryveagh
Mountains in west-central Donegal. Named Doochary meaning Black
Weir, it has but a handful of white buildings at its main
intersection. A few sheep graze on the rocky hillsides.
Fishing for salmon and sea trout in the Gweebarra River might
bring visitors to the town. From Lough Barra the river runs through
Doochary, becoming tidal there. It then flows six miles to join the
Atlantic Ocean.
Doochary was selected in 1997 as a Tidy Town. This prize is
awarded to a village or town deemed to have created a positive
image of the Irish language. Shop and road signs are in Gaelic, the
language spoken here.
Doochary is quiet with a clean and neat appearance . Its neighbors
are Dungloe to the west, Fintown to the East, Maas to the south and
Glendowan to the North. It is located in Dungloe parish.
Getting There
The cache is located at the top of
the "corkscrew" outside the village of Doochary on the main road
between Fintown and Dungloe in the Derryveagh Mountains in
Donegal. There is a parking
spot at the top of the
hill. The final location is not accessible by wheelchairs or
buggies and the ground may be soft & wet after periods of heavy
rain.

geocaching label on the exterior.Suitable for small trade items
