Head north east down the R247 and you will find the Fanad lighthouse which sits at the mouth of Lough Swilly and has been watching over since 1817.
In 1811 the HMS Saldanha sank and 254 people died, the only survivor was the captain's parrot. After this terrible tragedy the lighthouse was built and was first lit on St. Patrick's Day in 1817.
