Here within a late 19th century setting in a rugged and remote mountain valley, Henry Mc Ilhenny from Philadelphia created one of the most celebrated gardens in Ireland.
Woodland gardens and pleasure grounds, an Italian terrace with antique sculpture and terracotta pots, all these different themes have been skillfully interwoven against the wild and beautiful Donegal landscape.
Glenveagh National Park Visitor Centre, which is located at the end of Lough Veagh near the edge of the National Park, has a whole host of features and facilities including a restaurant, a car park, an audio visual display as well as information on the various walking trails.

Wildlife in Glenveagh
Natural woodlands of oak and birch clothe the slopes of the deep valley that bisects the park. These woods are inhabited by badgers, foxes and stoats, whilst woodland bird life includes siskins, treecreepers, redstarts and wood warblers.

On the uplands of the park, birds more likely to be encountered include ravens, peregrines, stonechat and grouse, and the upland slopes are dotted with the yellow flowers of tormentil and bog asphodel.
