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 lively bars or top-notch restaurants in this relaxing area.
