Directions
Burt - Peace, views, and proper breathing space with Derry and Letterkenny on your doorstep.


If you`re craving a calmer pace without feeling cut off, Burt hits a sweet spot. It`s a welcoming rural community with big Donegal scenery, Lough Swilly nearby, and an easy run to Derry City and Letterkenny for work, shopping, schools, and nightlife.

Why people fall for Burt
Space and scenery
• Rolling hills, lough views, quiet roads, and the kind of light photographers chase.
• A daily backdrop that feels like a weekend away.

Location that genuinely works
• Close to Derry for commuting and amenities.
• Handy for Letterkenny and the wider Donegal network.
• Right at the gateway to Inishowen beaches, walks, and wild Atlantic energy within easy reach.

A real community feel
• The best part of small places: people know each other, and newcomers don`t stay `new` for long.
• Rural living with connection not isolation.

Lifestyle: what your weeks look like here
• Weekdays: quiet mornings, quick commutes, less traffic stress.
• Evenings: dog walks with views, fresh air, and starry skies you actually notice.
• Weekends: beaches in Inishowen, coffee in Derry, hikes, swims, scenic drives all without a big plan.

Local character (the charm you can`t manufacture)
Burt has a strong sense of identity, from the iconic Grianán of Aileach viewpoint nearby to the striking St Aengus` Church a landmark people travel to see. It`s a place with history, but not stuck in it.

Ideal for


• Commuters who want countryside living but city access
• Remote/hybrid workers who want space, quiet, and a better quality of life
• Families looking for room to grow and a safer-feeling pace
• Returners / relocators who want Donegal life without being `too far out`
• Outdoor people who want walks, water, and scenery on tap

The bottom line
Burt isn`t trying to be flashy. It`s simply a great place to live: scenic, settled, well-positioned, and a brilliant base for life in the North West.
