Fantastic views and scenes and history to be explored. Be prepared for long walk to and from the castle which is lovely or avail of the shuttle bus for a small fare. A lovely experience.

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.

Although this monument is has not yet been restored it's outer shell (and even chimneys!) remain intact. Although the Castle is now deemed inaccessible and possibly unsafe, there is a very rough dirt path across from the painted wall on Sheep Lane which has been worn down over the years. A camera and walking shoes are advised. It is an important and interesting part of Donegal's history which is worth research.
