Popular places to visit
Glenveagh National Park
Blanketed in forests, mountains, woodland and water meadows, Glenveagh National Park is one of the primary attractions in County Donegal. The park is particularly popular with hikers, owing to its combination of untamed natural beauty, challenging trails and sculpted gardens – the latter of which are part of the 19th century Glenveagh Castle. The park covers an impressive 66 square miles of countryside.
Donegal Castle
You can learn about the history of Donegal with a trip to Donegal Castle. Visit the top-notch restaurants or lively bars in this relaxing area.
Knocknarea
This distinctive flat-topped hill and its mysterious summit cairn have been prominent landmarks in County Sligo’s folklore and culture for millennia.
Mount Errigal
The tallest of the Seven Sisters in County Donegal, Mount Errigal is part of the larger Derryveagh Mountain Range and is considered to be one of the most iconic mountains in Ireland. Situated in the remote north-west of Ireland, Mount Errigal lies in the country’s most sparsely populated region, making this an exquisite place to escape.
