Slieve League is almost three times the height of its Clare cousins, the Cliffs of Moher and whilst standing at the viewing point on the Cliff an amazing sea vista and landscape opens up before your eyes. From this point you can see across Donegal Bay to neighboring counties Leitrim, Sligo and Mayo and when looking out to the west the view is of the vast Atlantic ocean as far as the eye can see. From the North West you will be able to see Rathlin O’Byrne Island and Glencolmcille. At the base of the Cliffs you need to look out for the ‘Giants Desk and Chair’ which is a key part of history.

In the midst of Ardara’s rich history as a hub for handwoven Donegal Tweeds, the echoes of tradition faced a formidable challenge in the 1960s. Modern machinery threatened the very fabric of our indigenous industry. It was in this backdrop of change that Denis Mulhern, a fifth-generation hand weaver, emerged as a torchbearer of tradition. In the aftermath of the industry’s decline, Triona was born, a small bespoke tweed company founded on the principles of resilience and love for craftsmanship.
