Glenveagh

Glenveagh (Gleann Bheatha på irsk) er ein innsjø (på engelsk lough) i County Donegal i Republikken Irland. Innsjøen ligg ved Glenveagh Castle, om lag 20 km frå Gweedore og dannar hjartet i Glenveagh National Park (irsk Páirc Naisiúnta Gleann Bheatha). Nettverket av hagar inneheld mange eksotiske og flotte planter frå område så langt borte som Chile, Madeira og Tasmania. Plantene er verna frå vinden av furutre og dekorative rhododendronar.

Gleann Bheatha tyder på norsk «Livsens dal».

Eigedomen vart oppretta av John Adair som vart kjend for å kaste ut 244 av sine leigetakarar og jamna husa med jorda slik at dei ikkje skulle øydelegge utsikten hans.

Hagane og borga vart kjøpt av den irske staten i 1981 frå Henry P. McIlhenny frå Philadelphia, som hadde kjøpt eigedomen i 1937.

Parken har i dag den største flokken kronhjort på Irland og kongeørn, som tidlegare var utrydda på Irland, men sett tilbake i parken i 2000.

Great park with a short trail suitable for beginners. We skipped the castle but loved the views from our walk. Definitely recommended!

The bike rental will save you about 2 hours if you intend to hike all the way to the waterfall. Lovely scenery.
