 Waterfront Townhouse Killybegs New luxurious townhouse at Waterfront, St. Catherine's Well, Killybegs, co. Donegal. This newly constructed semi detached townhouse overlooks Ireland’s premier fishing port, Killybegs. The house is ideally located for a touring holiday of south Donegal and the Yeat's Country of north Co. Sligo.
Killybegs Fishing Harbour The Waterfront town house over looks the picturesque fishing harbour of Killybegs. It is also situated near the infamous St. Catherine's well. St. Catherine's well is a beautiful pure spring that bubbles up through the rock located at the Smooth Point. Tradition has it that a group of monks were sailing along the west coast of Ireland when a fierce storm arose which threw them into uppermost danger. The monks invoked the protection of the patron saint of sea farers - St. Catherine and vowed to dedicate a well in her honour should they arrive safely on the shore again. This they did and it happened to be in Killybegs. So they set about building the holy well at the entrance to the harbour. The Irish for Killybegs is Na Cealla Beaga - meaning "the little cells" - was it from these monks, maybe the first settlers in the area, that the name arose? Located on the hill above the well is the ruins of Kits Castle - home to the Bishop of Raphoe many years ago. All that is left of the building now is the remains of the tower, or keep. The walls can be seen to be about 7 foot thick and there is still evidence that a substantial building once stood here.
