Glenveagh Castle and National Park cover 16,000 hectares of
mountains, lakes, woodland and wild bogs. The park is home to
many species of wildlife including Ireland's largest herd of native Red
Deer and the parklands include the peaks of Donegal's two highest
mountains, Errigal and Slieve Snacht. The park has a visitor centre
with excellent audiovisual displays. In contrast with the rugged
surroundings is the magnificent Glenveagh Castle, which was built in
the years 1870 - 1873. Visitors can enjoy a fascinating guided tour of
the Castle. The Castle gardens are among the finest in Ireland. There
is a restaurant in the Visitors Centre and a tearoom in the Castle.
Tours of the castle gardens, nature walks and longer hill walks are
available.
