Moville's 'White Wall' is known as being a landmark recognisable
when entering the town and from Lough Foyle.
Some time ago the middle part of the wall collapsed and there was
a survey carried out as to why this happened. Apparently the roots
of the trees at the back of the wall were the cause of it. Moville
Inishowen Tourist and Development Co Ltd., have been working with
the Donegal County Council and Fás to remedy this. On 28th
January, the Moville/Greencastle Fás participants started
work to repair the wall. As time goes on I will add more photographs
of their progress.
North East Inishowen Company Limited, on behalf of the people of
Moville, thank Fás and the Donegal County Council for their
support in the rebuilding of the wall.

From the White Wall you can see the Green,

is breathtaking.
