Milford is a long established, small Market Town located within the Mulroy Bay area in North Donegal. The town is strategically well placed, located approx. 20km north of Letterkenny and the wide range of services, employment, and amenities this large centre has to offer. It is also in close proximity to a number of regional tourist amenities such as Glenveagh National Park, Fanad Head and Lighthouse located on the highly popular tourist route, the “Wild Atlantic Way”, as well as more local attractions such as The Colmcille Trail, Mulroy Bay and the associated attractive landscape.
Plans & Publications
Milford’s historical agricultural market functions have moved to the outskirts of the town and the town core functions as a service centre for the resident’s located within the wider town boundary and rural hinterland, with retailing, administrative, community, health and education uses.
Much of the town centre’s attractive historical settlement pattern is still evident and many simple attractive buildings from the past remain along its Main Street.
The Milford Town Centre First Plan sets out the strategic vision for Milford and identifies themes and objectives which respond to the issues, challenges, needs and opportunities which have emerged from the extensive engagement between the community of Milford and Donegal County Council.
