Gaoth Dobhair, Gaeltacht town in County Donegal, Ireland.
Gweedore extends 26 kilometers along the Atlantic coast, connecting several small villages between Mount Errigal and the deeply indented coastline.
The area experienced population growth during the 1609 Plantation of Ulster when Irish-speaking families moved from fertile regions to settle in Donegal's boglands.
The region maintains the largest Irish-speaking community in Ireland, with education, radio broadcasting, and daily activities conducted primarily in Irish language.
Travelers can reach Gweedore through Donegal Airport, which receives flights from London Heathrow and Glasgow, or by driving via routes N56 and R257.
The district contains five primary schools operating entirely through Irish language until senior level, supporting a population of 4,065 residents.
