The park covers 170 square kilometres of hillside above Glenveagh Castle on the shore of Lough Veagh (Loch Ghleann Bheatha), 20 km from Gweedore in County Donegal. The network of mainly informal gardens displays a multitude of exotic and delicate plants from as far afield as Chile, Madeira and Tasmania, all sheltered by windbreaks of pine trees and ornamental rhododendrons.
Errigal[3] (Irish: An Earagail)[4] is a 751-metre (2,464 ft) mountain near Gweedore in County Donegal, Ireland.[1] It is the tallest peak of the Derryveagh Mountains and the tallest peak in County Donegal.[1]
Leo's Tavern (Irish: Tábhairne Leo) is a restaurant and pub in the Donegal Gaeltacht, known as the home of music artists Clannad, Enya and Moya Brennan.[1] The pub opened in 1968 and held Irish traditional music sessions nightly, becoming the musical starting block for the children of Leo Brennan, the pub's founder.[2]
Sliabh Liag, sometimes Slieve League or Slieve Liag (Irish: Sliabh Liag),[1] is a mountain on the Atlantic coast of County Donegal, Ireland. At 596 metres (1,955 ft), it has some of the highest sea cliffs on the island of Ireland.[2] Although less famous than the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Slieve League's cliffs reach almost three times higher.
This was my second visit to this place, the first time in 2010. Stayed at a hostel nearby with access to an amazing beach.
