Situated in northwest Donegal, the core area of Glenveagh National Park was
formerly an enormous private estate of over 9,500 hectares in extent.
The present day National Park now includes elements of another large
estate and has a total area of over 16,500 hectares, making it
Ireland's largest. It boasts, like Killarney, beautiful lakes set in
impressive mountain scenery (the Park includes the two highest peaks in
Donegal - Errigal and Slieve Snacht). The underlying granite gives to
the landscape a quite different character to the sandstone and
limestone strata of Killarney however. At the south-west end of the
Park are the ice-carved cliffs of the Poisoned Glen and Bingorm, while
the north-east end has a gentler array of hills, deep peat bogs and the
swampy valley of the Owencarrow river. |
