The strong religious connections of the town&#8217;s history are still in evidence in today through the presence of the Church of Ireland Cathedral, as well as the remains of the &#8216;Bishop&#8217;s Palace&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Raphoe Self Catering Donegal Map<\/h3>\n<p>[mappress mapid=&#8221;70&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>YouTube Video of Raphoe Area<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gwJWt51lM9k?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Self Catering in Raphoe\" href=\"http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/towns\/holiday-cottage-raphoe.php\">view self catering in Raphoe<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Raphoe Information\" href=\"http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/blog\/category\/raphoe\">more information about Raphoe<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raphoe Self Catering Donegal &#8211; Raphoe is located in east Donegal and is the commercial centre for a rich agricultural hinterland.
