It has a wealth of architectural heritage with fine old Georgian town houses and a lovely tree lined mall.The area was the homeland of the O'Donnells, the ruling clan of Donegal, from the 12th century. In the 16th century Calvagh O'Donnell built the Killydonnell Franciscan Friary above Lough Swilly on a site which previously housed an earlier church possibly dating back to the 10th Century. The Friary was closed at the time of the Plantation of Ireland and since then it has been a burial ground for the local community. This site is a short walk from our home.
