Bealach na Gaeltachta, Dún na nGall is a set of long distance walking routes which have been developed as a national Waymarked Way by Donegal County Council and Údarás na Gaeltachta in association with Bord Fáilte. These routes have been developed in the Donegal Gaeltacht and islands. A total of 290 kms provides the walker with many opportunities to sample the unique landscape, culture and heritage of the region.

There are four primary circular routes. Three of the routes are linked by a walk. Slí an Earagail & Slí na Rossan have links to the islands where waymarked walks have also been developed.

Most sections of Slí an Earagail & Slí na Rosann follow tracks or minor roads.
