Ireland’s wild north has received a lot of much-deserved attention in recent months. Most recently, Donegal Airport was voted the second most scenic landing in the world in a poll of 122 airports worldwide. The poll saw over 8,000 members of the public\u00a0vote on a shortlist chosen by a panel of international travel experts, with 122 airports nominated.<\/p>\n

Donegal started the year on a high on the back of National Geographic Traveller<\/em><\/a> naming the county the \u201ccoolest place on the planet\u201d to visit. Donegal\u2019s recent fame has been enhanced by the presence of Star Wars<\/em><\/a>\u00a0using the county’s natural wilderness to film scenes for the upcoming installment; Episode VIII.<\/p>\n
