It's a great place to explore

We visited Glenveagh today, the shuttle bus is great although you can walk from the visitor centre to the castle if you wish. The tour of the castle was very good, an actor & 2 actresses take you back with them to the early 1900’s....More

Great Area for Walks

I have been visiting Glenveagh for the majority of my life, and my love for the place hasn’t wavered since. The gardens are divine, the walks are breath-taking and is an absolute joy to journey through the park.
