were piloted at Rathmullen, up Lough Swilly for the transit of the narrow, twisting
channel of the River Swilly.
ST. EUNAN'S
However you approach Letterkenny you are greeted by the tall spire of St. Eunan's
Cathedral as it crowns the hillside town. The 19th Century Cathedral stands proudly
over the town on the appropriately named Sentry Hill.
DRY ARCH
The railway line used to run along an embankment and over a cut stone bridge, known
as the Dry Arch. The origins of the name aren't known and one can only assume that
people sheltered there from the rain and remained dry under the arch/bridge.
