Glenveagh National Park and Castle

30 minutes by car

Mountain, bog and woodland around a Victorian castle and its walled garden, with golden eagles reintroduced to the glen. Park at the visitor centre and take the shuttle up to the castle.

Glenveagh is the great set piece of the area: mountain, bog and woodland around a Victorian castle and its walled garden, thirty minutes inland from the village.

Park at the visitor centre and take the shuttle bus up to the castle, or walk the lakeside path if you have the time. Golden eagles were reintroduced to the glen, and the gardens are at their best from late spring.
