Top 6 Things to do Good for Kids in Donegal Town, County Donegal
Donegal Town is a fairytale of a place, featuring a charming harbor, serene beaches and stoic stone remains of centuries past, like those of 15th-century Donegal Abbey. Stern-looking Donegal Castle, recently restored to its one-time Gaelic glory, is the crown jewel of the area. If you’re looking for souvenirs, snag a hand-woven tweed or carpet, the signature goods of the area. For a good craic, the pubs of The Diamond area are a sure bet.

Visited gola for the first time this year, although we live locally, we never got around to making the trip. The ferry left hourly which was great as we had young family with us and we could stay as long or as short as suited us. The ferryman was more than helpful, loading and unloading a pram with a child in it and giving us all a helping hand on and off the ferry. The island itself is lovely and anyone we met were polite and pleasant. It's a day trip I will remember for a long time!

This 15th-century castle was fully restored in 1996.
Reviewed By 183TonyM183 - Gloucestershire, United Kingdom
This castle situated near the centre of Donegal Town is a counterpoint to it larger counterparts. A self guided tour takes you through the various parts of the castle providing context at each stop. Displays in the castle itself provide just the right amount information and help you build the historical story. Also, really friendly and helpful staff. It doesn’t cost much, it doesn’t take a long time to go round but it was actually a great activity and time well spent.
