Donegal Town Stopover - Places to Visit in Donegal, Ireland
Donegal Town, Ireland - Through the digging that we have been doing throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland to bring those historical famous places as well as those hidden gems which not all people know about, we have come to Donegal Town in Ireland and the stopover we have made.
Donegal town is a town in county Donegal in Ulster, Ireland, and which is found at the mouth of the River Eske and Donegal Bay and overshadowed by the Blue Stack Mountains. The center of this small town is called the Diamond and it is the place for music, poetic, and cultural gatherings in the area.
This was a quick visit to Donegal town - we didn't get deeper into the place to know what could be visited inside and what are the places one could stay at - but we got the chance to reach the Donegal Friary. The Donegal Friary is located on the outskirts of the town where the River Eske joins the Donegal Bay. This friary which was damaged during the war that took place after was considered one of the most influential Franciscan houses in Ireland but which is now nothing but the fragments of the church and the cloister arcade. Visiting this friary is considered beneficial because it will reveal a lot about the history of the place.
We reached Donegal town, got the chance to get inside the friary, walked through the ruins, and enjoyed the scene that combines the old ruins, the water, as well as the birds in one thing; it was really a different experience and a quick visit to a historical place that dates back to the seventeenth century which those visiting Donegal should do.
The Donegal friary is now considered some ruins and remains scattered around the area and these ruins are actually divided into rooms. There is the nave, the tower, the chancel, the aisle, the transept, the chapel, the cloister Garth, the cloister walk, the sacristy, the east range, the north range, the west range, and the Red Hugh O'Donnell.
In addition to visiting the Donegal friary, there are other things one could do in Donegal Town ( and which are beneficial for those who will be staying there for a couple of days to know more about. Those willing to make a tour in Donegal should visit Donegal Castle - which has been believed that there is a tunnel found linking between it and the friary - which is located in the centre of Donegal town. Walking the Blue Stack Way which is a 47 km long from Donegal town to Ardara. There is also the Donegal Railway Heritage Center which will provide the tourists with information about how it used to be like to travel on the narrow gauge railways of county Donegal.
Never visit a place by just looking on those historical monuments and ruins, you should also give yourself the chance to visit those new places which might be worth it as well as be part of the activities that might be taking place in the town or city you are visiting; these things usually make the trip more unforgettable and filled with more fun.
So in addition to those things we have suggested about visiting Donegal town in Ireland, there are also some things which tourists should never forget about doing, such as getting on the Donegal Bay Waterbus which offers daily 75 to 80 minutes tours of Donegal Bay with its many different islands and wildlife. There is also the walking tour which one could bring a guided tour to walk through the hills and mountains of Donegal or the one hour walking tour that takes place in the historical part of Donegal city.
There are always different things one could do in every single city or town he/she is visiting even if the place is not much historical - which should never be the case because why would you be there in the first place? - all what the person will need to do is search, ask those who might have been in the city or town before, and go exploring themselves to come out with the best outcomes at the end.
There are different things to do and different places to visit in Ireland and that is the main reason behind helping you out with those places which we have been to and enjoyed our times - for the adults as well as the kids.
We have done a quick visit to Donegal and managed to come across the Donegal friary only but we will never deny the excitement we had while visiting a place that dates back to the seventeenth century.
There are different things to see in Ireland, such as the Trinity College Dublin which was found in 1592 ( you could also take a tour around Dublin city by buying a ticket to the hop-on hop-off bus tour ( as well as other places which you might be more creative to find, settle on, and eventually visit :-)

Walking down the mountain towards Lough Eske Castle in Donegal Town, Ireland
So here’s the last video from our time in Donegal Town and Lough Eske Castle. This was taken by Jimmy, and it’s our walk back down the road from the plateau. It’s not the whole walk (he figured that would be too much, so he stopped a little past half way), but it will give you a flavor of what we experienced and saw – and it will be a precursor to a later video about the roads in Ireland. This was very typical of what we drove on between towns throughout the trip: narrow; two-way, but barely one-car wide; with all sorts of stuff along the edges that scraped the car as you went past.

Killybegs is a fantastic town in County Donegal in Ireland with a population of around 1,236 as of 2016.
It's the largest fishing port in the country located on the south coast of the county, north of Donegal Bay.
Situated along the coast of the Wild Atlantic Way down Ireland's west coast, it is a popular stop along this stunning route. Famous for its fish, Killybegs is a must see stop along the Wild Atlantic Way for any food lover.
Killybegs is a short drive from the beautiful Fintra beach, a popular family holiday spot and also situated close to Slieve League sea cliffs which are among the largest sea cliffs in Europe with their highest drop of 609m.
Fintra beach is considered one of the safest beaches in Ireland, it is registered blue flag and life guarded throughout the summer season and is popular with day trippers and families.
For any touring family, group or couple travelling the Wild Atlantic Way, Killybegs offers so much things to do and see in terms of spectacular scenery and beautiful food. We highly recommend you stop and breathe the fresh sea air and take in the sights!
The town is situated at the head of a scenic harbour and at the base of a vast mountainous tract. In the summer, there is a street festival celebrating the fish catches and incorporating the traditional Blessing of the Boats which we would really recommend.
When visiting the town, there are lots of great pubs, restaurants and hotels to try. If you fancy some amazing locally caught fish, you need to try the Killybegs Seafood Shack and you won't regret it!
