Protected landscape
Plan time to explore it properly.
A broad Donegal wilderness of mountains, blanket bog, native woodland and Lough Veagh, centred on Glenveagh Castle and its gardens.
The park is best approached as a protected landscape rather than a single attraction. Routes, facilities and access arrangements vary across the site, while weather can change quickly in exposed mountain, coastal and bog environments. Review current official information before choosing a walk or arrival point.
Highlights
- Lough Veagh
- Castle gardens
- Derryveagh Mountains
