The North Pole

Information provided by the accommodationOriginally servicing the Carndonagh Line from “Londonderry Graving Dock” in Northern Ireland to the town of Carndonagh in north Inishowen, Donegal, the Station House at Drumfries was established in July of 1901 by the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway Company. It was not until the first extension was built around 1964 that the bar was officially christened The North Pole—the name a reference to Francis’s mother, who while living in the hills of Drumcorra during her youth, would often remark: “It’s so cold up here it’s like the North Pole!”—making for a fitting northern counter-point to Tom Crean’s South Pole Pub in County Kerry!

Local attractions include various Craft Shops with a wide range of Quality Irish Products.

Ballyliffin Golf Course is the single-most northerly course in the island of Ireland, and playing there is an absolute must for your well-travelled golfer’s bucket-list.
