Church Hill, historically known as Minalaban (from the Irish Mín an Lábáin), is a small village located eight miles from County Donegal's largest town, Letterkenny. The village's name is derived from its location on a small hilltop.

The village has a post office, one off licence, a takeaway restaurant, a tea room and two pubs. There is a Church of Ireland church in the village: the closest Roman Catholic church is located a mile away.

Heritage and culture

Nearby places of interest include the Colmcille Heritage Centre, the Glebe House and Gallery, Glenveagh Castle and Newmills Corn and Flax Mills.
