Route
The route commences at the end of the N56 at Port Bridge in Letterkenny. A short distance west of this, the N14 joins the N13, which continues west as dual carriageway. South of Manorcunningham, the N14 recommences, proceeding west (the N13 turns north, passing by Manorcunningham). The N14 continues southwest through Drumoghill, crosses the R236, continuing through Drumbeg and Rossgeir (crossing the River Deele). In Rossgeir the N14 joins the R265 (connecting St. Johnston) and entering into Lifford from the north, the N15 comes to an end at the western side of a junction with the N14 in the town centre. The latter route, having entered the junction from the south, turns east to end at Lifford Bridge, between Lifford and Strabane (the A38 road continues into Strabane).
Until the N56 between Stranorlar and Letterkenny was redesignated as the N13, the N14 only ran between Manorcunningham and Lifford.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
