Glenveagh is an Irish National Park and is the second largest on the Emerald Isle, after Connemara.
It is a collection of walking trails, a castle with visitor centre and ornate castle gardens, and it surrounds Lough Veagh whilst sitting within the Derrveagh Mountains, Poisoned Glen and Errigal Mountain.
Over the course of 170 square kilometers, the park contains beautiful misty trails alongside the lough, steep mountain hikes and exotic plants from such far flung places as Chile, Madeira and Tasmania!
The park has an interesting history as it was first created and cleared by landowner John Adair who created quite a stir when he decided to evict his 244 tenants so that they didn’t spoil his view!
