  • Ardara Bays & Coast LCA 30 an Gaeltacht
    Ardara Bays & Coast LCA 30 An Gaeltacht Ardara Bays, Coast and Gaeltacht Landscape Character Area is a low lying undulating area with an open aspect, framed by the higher uplands of the surrounding LCAs and by a long and varied coastline indented by long sandy tidal estuaries. The area has a myriad of landscape types; the inland landscape is pre-dominantly bog and lake interspersed with fertile riverine agricultural corridors to the south following the Owenea and Owentocker Rivers and large commercial coniferous forestry plantations within the east. Agricultural lands along river valleys and in the hinterland of Ardara and Glenties are characterised by larger hedgerow bound geometric fields, at variance with the coastal farmland of a more open nature with historic fields patterns of note at Loughros and Portnoo. The coast extends from within the tidal estuary at Gweebarra bay, past Inishkeel island, around Dawross Head and into Loughros More Bay and estuary before following the shore around Loughros Point and Loughros Beg Bay and estuary. The Wild Atlantic Way extends through this area along the route of the R261, skimming the north coast that already has an established tourism and recreation base at Nairn and Portnoo. This area has been settled throughout history and many important historic sites and monuments remain, including Doon Fort, an island crannog dating from the 4 th Century, and the ruins of a 6 th century monastery and church on Inishkeel island. 156 Landscape Character types Seascape Character Units Map/list Seascape units Seascape Unit 12 and Seascape Unit 13 are within the Ardara Bays, Coast and Gaeltacht Landscape Character Area.

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.
