Glenveagh National Park lies in the heart of the Derryveagh Mountains in the North-West of County Donegal. It is a remote and hauntingly beautiful wilderness of rugged mountains and pristine lakes. The Park, over 16,000 hectares is the former Glenveagh Estate, including most of the Derryveagh Mountains.
Take in the stunning Victorian Castle and Gardens along Lough Veagh, explore on the many varied walking trails, and experience the wildlife of the National Park as you explore in the woodlands, peatlands, upland areas, or along the lakes and rivers.
