Introducing Moville & Around
Inishowen’s best-looking town is Moville (Bun an Phobail), which essentially amounts to a couple of roads meeting beside a harbour. Nearly every building is old and well kept up in a way that’s more proud than prissy. It can be rather sleepy, but on holiday weekends tourists from Northern Ireland flood the town. Moville was a busy port during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when thousands of emigrants set sail for America from here. The coastal walkway from Moville to Greencastle takes in the stretch of coast where the steamers used to moor, and also affords some rewarding bird-watching opportunities. There’s fishing off the pier for mackerel, mullet and coalfish.
