About Lifford
Lifford is the county town of Donegal, set on the River Foyle beside Strabane in County Tyrone and close to the border with Northern Ireland. It has a practical, close-knit character, with a mix of established residential streets, town-centre services and surrounding countryside. The town is convenient for everyday shopping and services, while larger retail and employment centres in Strabane, Derry and Letterkenny are within reach by road. Families are served by local primary and secondary schools, with further education available in nearby towns. Bus services connect Lifford with Strabane, Letterkenny and other Donegal destinations, and the town’s position near the N15 and N14 makes commuting by car relatively straightforward. Local life centres on the town’s shops, cafés, pubs and community facilities, with the nearby Foyle riverside and rural roads providing opportunities for walking and outdoor recreation. Historic Lifford Gaol is a notable landmark, while the wider area offers access to clubs, pitches and community activities in Lifford, Strabane and surrounding parishes.
