Ballyliffin / Baile Liffín

Pollan Strand, Ballyliffin


Ballyliffin [farmstead of the halfpenny] is situated 1 km North East of Clonmany and 8km North West of Carndonagh in Inishowen. The term halfpenny may refer to a land division but it's exact origin is unknown. Ballyliffin dates from the 16th century and is famed for its golf courses and the nearby 1km Pollan Strand.

Tá Baile Liffín [feirm leathphingin] suite ciliméadar amháin in iar-thuaisceart le Cluain Maine agus 8 ciliméadar ar thaobh thoir thuaidh Charn Domhnach i leathinis Inis Eoghain. Siltear go bhfuil baint ag an téarma leathphigin le roinnt talamh, ach níl bunús an téarma seo cinnte. Téann Baile Liffín arais go dtí an séú aois déag agus tá aithne mhaith air de bharr na cursaí gailf atá anseo agus fósta congarach ag seo an Trá Pollan atá ciliméadar amháin ar fhád. ©
