Glenveagh National Park

Image
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. A fabulous place and it is our favourite place in County Donegal.

Tory Island

Image
Just 14km off the Donegal coast, is a magical island called Tory. This place is steeped in history and folklore, and is Donegal’s Gaeltacht areas – locals speak Irish fluently, so it would be advised to learn a few words before visitn here. Interestingly, on this island, the people elect a king, who acts as the community’s spokesperson. He’s a friendly fellow who greets each passenger ferry that lands and personally welcomes visitors! The island is also known for its passion for traditional music and culture, and you’re likely to find a lively session or two taking place in its local pubs! This place is definitely one of the best places in Donegal.
