After a wonderful night’s rest and a lovely breakfast, we bid our hosts farewell and headed for the Glenveagh National Park and Castle. It was fascinating to watch the change in terrain and vegetation along the way. At the beginning of the drive it was all pastoral, green and lush. Then we crossed over the “mountains” and it became very rugged and brown.  The park is the second largest national park in Ireland. It covers 170 square kilometres of hillside above Glenveagh Castle on the shore of Loch Ghleann Bheatha, 20 km from Gweedore in County Donegal. At the visitor center, we bought tickets for the castle tour and took the bus up to the castle.

The castle was built around 1870 in the Scottish style and was originally used as a hunting lodge. In the 1920’s after the death of its owners, the estate fell into disarray and was occupied by both anti-treaty and Free State Army forces.  It was subsequently purchased by and American in 1929 and later by another American who, in 1975, agreed to sell it to the Office. of Public Works for the creation of a national park.

The castle is not large or terribly ornate, but is very comfortably furnished with numerous paintings of wildlife.  It is surrounded by magnificent gardens with roses still in bloom. It also has a large greenhouse where small orange trees are grown.  The castle has a backdrop of nearly 170 square kilometers of mountains, lakes, glens and woods with a large herd of red deer.

After our tour of the castle and gardens, we opted to walk the 2 km hike back to the visitor center and have a cuppa before moving on. A couple of hours later, we arrived at our newest home away from home, the Smuggler’s Inn in the town of Bushmills (yes, the home of Bushmills Irish Whiskey), county Antrim near the Giant’s Causeway (which is on tomorrow’s agenda). Following a wonderful dinner at the inn we retired to our room for a well deserved night’s sleep.
