If you love the outdoors and nature then Glenveagh National Park is an ideal place for you. The park lies in heart of County Donegal, among the wild and rugged landscape of the Derryveagh Mountains.  

Over the past 1000 years Ireland has been transformed from over 80% natural forest to less that 11% today with only 5% native.  At Glenveagh National Park it has pristine habitats and protected wildlife.  If you are visiting the area to learn about Ireland’s unique biodiversity or just looking for something to do for the day then a visit at the park is a must.

The park has trails allowing you to explore the park as well taking in the views of the Victorian Castle and Gardens along Lough Veagh.  Glenveah Natural Park is approximately 45 minutes drive from our holiday home in Burtonport. To book your holiday cottage in the Dungloe area click here.
