Glenveagh National Park

Glenveagh National Park

Glenveagh National Park is located in County Donegal, Ireland. Established in 1984, it covers an area of 170 square kilometers, making it the second largest national park in Ireland. Renowned across the country for its elegant natural environment, it is one of Ireland’s most beloved national parks.

The park consists of vast open moorlands, tranquil lakes, rolling hills, extensive areas of bogland, and beautiful woodland scenery. Its secluded trails reveal breathtaking vistas that leave every visitor in awe. One of the park’s most distinctive features is its seamless blend of nature and culture, where multiple human-made attractions are nestled within the peaceful natural surroundings—offering visitors the chance to enjoy the great outdoors while also experiencing the conveniences of modern civilization.

Glenveagh National Park is home to the largest herd of red deer in Ireland, which live and thrive in the pristine environment provided by the park. In 2000, the golden eagle, once extinct in the region, was reintroduced to the park, becoming one of its most iconic features. The best time to spot these majestic birds is during Ireland’s brief winter season.
