Glenveagh

Glenveagh National Park encompasses 16,548 hectares of mountains, lakes, glens, and woods in County Donegal, Ireland. Established in 1984, the park centers on the beautiful Lough Veagh valley, surrounded by the Derryveagh Mountains including Errigal, Donegal's highest peak. The landscape features dramatic glacially-carved terrain with extensive blanket bogs, heath, and grasslands. At the heart sits Glenveagh Castle, a 19th-century castellated mansion with spectacular gardens, creating a unique combination of natural and cultural heritage. The park represents Ireland's largest national park and protects one of the finest wilderness areas in the country, where golden eagles soar above pristine lakes and ancient woodlands shelter Ireland's largest red deer herd.
