An Fál Carrach (pronounced "Falcarragh") is a small town in northern County Donegal. Locally it is called "Na Crois Bhealaí" (ie. The Crossroads") due to its location. The town has a long rich history, including the tallest celtic cross in all-Ireland, close to Droihcead Ráithe (a townland a few miles to the east). The town is situated in a Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area) known as Cloch Chionnaola.
