Glenveagh National Park in the Derryveagh Mountains of central Donegal encompasses a vast landscape of blanket bog, glaciated valleys, oak woodland, and mountain moorland around Glenveagh Castle and Lough Veagh. The castle and its formal gardens were created by Henry McIlhenny — who also owned the tabasco sauce company — and bequeathed to the Irish state. Hotels in Letterkenny and the Donegal Highlands offer the best base for exploring Glenveagh and the extraordinary wild landscape of this least-visited corner of Ireland.
