Culdaff (Irish: Cúil Dabhcha)[2] is a village, civil parish and townland on the Inishowen peninsula of County Donegal, Ireland. Known for its beach, it attracts tourists from all over Ireland.[citation needed] As of 2022[update], the population was 385.[1]
The present village dates back to the 8th century and was originally the site of the monastery of St Buadán (Baithéne mac Brénaind), after which the Church of Ireland is named. William Lawson Micks and Samuel Arnold Lawson, acted as Trustees for one hundred acres of bogland at Meenawarra near Culdaff on behalf of the purchaser, Jane Leferre.[3]
