2 Best Shopping in The Northwest, Ireland

For the best selection of local history books on Donegal and Ireland in general, Ordnance Survey maps, and travel guides, as well as music and Celtic jewelry, the Four Masters Bookshop is a great place to browse.

Hidden-away Trinity Rare Books is run by a garrulous Canadian with a depth of knowledge of both the Irish and international book market. Five hundred of the owner's rare books are available here. The shop is also helping revive the vinyl record market and stocks many 1970s and ’80s pop classics. More than 1,000 of the shop's records for sale can be viewed on site.
