The beautiful town of Killybegs in County Donegal is a lovely place to visit for anyone exploring Ireland’s spectacular northern coast. Killybegs is an unusual mix of modern and timeless, with lovely, winding streets and brightly coloured cottages decorating this industrious town. The busy harbour is a fascinating place to be when trawlers arrive, visitors can watch the trawlermen working tirelessly, while seals bark and seagulls call. Naturally, for a town with such a strong fishing tradition, visitors can sample some delicious, fresh seafood in the numerous local restaurants.
