About Rathmullan
Rathmullan is a small coastal village on the western shore of Lough Swilly in north Donegal, within the F92 routing area and close to Fahan, Buncrana, Ramelton and Milford. It has a relaxed, community-minded feel, with a scenic waterfront, sandy beach and a mix of permanent homes, holiday properties and older village buildings. The village is especially attractive for people who enjoy walking, sailing and waterside views, while the wider Fanad and Inishowen areas provide a rural backdrop. Local families use Rathmullan National School, with further primary and secondary choices available in nearby villages and larger towns. There is no rail service in the locality, so commuting is mainly by car, with regional bus connections linking Rathmullan to places such as Letterkenny and Buncrana via surrounding settlements. Village amenities include a small selection of shops, cafés, pubs and places to eat, while larger grocery, retail and healthcare services are found in Buncrana and Letterkenny. The beach, pier, shore walks and Rathmullan Forest provide everyday leisure opportunities, and the village is well known for its connection with the Flight of the Earls and its active coastal community.
