=== Harbour and lighthouse === {{Main|Donaghadee Lighthouse}} Donaghadee is known for its [[harbour]] and [[lighthouse]]. The initial plans and surveys for the harbour were made by [[John Rennie the Elder|John Rennie Senior]]. He died within two months of work beginning, and was succeeded by his son, John, later Sir [[John Rennie the Younger|John Rennie]]: the work was completed in 1825. The lighthouse, which was built in [[limestone]] was completed in the late 1830s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irishlights.ie/tourism/our-lighthouses/donaghadee.aspx|title=Donaghadee |publisher=Commissioner of Irish Lights|access-date=24 June 2022}}</ref> During the [[COVID-19]] Quarantine, people, usually younger people would place painted stones which would show support to the [[National Health Service]] (NHS), major parts of Donaghadee, milestones or just fun drawings. They were removed in late-2020 but in mid-2022 a small bench in the motte was painted with smaller designs of the stones.
