Pylons along the N15, Barnesmore Gap
The road northwards from Donegal Town to Ballybofey through Barnesmore Gap in the Bluestack mountains is regarded as one of the most scenic routes in Ireland. The pass (or “gap”) was created by a glacier, which carved a wide, deep valley in the mountain range. Its name in Irish, An Bearnas Mór, literally means “The Big Gap”.
