Glenveagh National Park Glenveagh National Park is one of the six beautiful national parks in Ireland. Situated in the Northwest of Co. Donegal, Glenveagh encompasses some 16,000 hectares in the heart of the Derryveagh Mountains. Such a great wilderness is the haunt of many interesting plants and animals. These lands were managed as a private deer forest before becoming a national park in 1975. With the completion of public facilities, Glenveagh National Park was officially opened to the public in 1986.
Mount Errigal Mount Errigal is a beautiful mountain near Gweedore in Co. Donegal. It is both the tallest peak of the Derryveagh Mountains and of all the peaks in the county.
