History

Glenveagh National Park covers some 16,540 hectares (40,873 acres) of mountains, lakes, glens and woods, with a herd of red deer. At the centre of this is Glenveagh Castle, a Scottish style castle surrounded by one of the finest gardens in Ireland, which contrast with the rugged surroundings.

Built in the years 1870 - 1873, the castle consists of a four storey rectangular keep. Access to the interior is by tour only. The Visitor Centre has displays outlining the park along with an audio-visual show and is accessible for visitors with disabilities. Morning and afternoon teas are served in the Castle tearooms. Ground floor of Castle is partially accessible for people with disabilities.
