County Donegal is located in the far north-west of Ireland. It forms part of the province of Ulster and the Border Region of the Republic of Ireland. A mountainous county with a deeply indented coastline on the Atlantic Ocean to its west and north, its land borders to east and south – for all but about 12 km in the very south where it adjoins County Leitrim – are all with counties lying in Northern Ireland. The remoteness from the rest of the Republic is reflected in the county's slogan, "Up Here It's Different".
The main roads through the county are the N13, N14 and N15 which connect the east of the county with Sligo and Derry. The other main road is the N56 which provides access to the rural and coastal communities, including the Gaeltacht.
Public highways in County Donegal – other than national roads, which are the responsibility of Transport Infrastructure Ireland – are managed by Donegal County Council.
