Start the day with breakfast before heading to Glenveagh National Park, a 40,000-acre expanse of unspoiled wilderness in the Derryveagh Mountains. Explore this serene landscape of pristine lakes, rolling hills, and lush glens, home to Ireland’s largest red deer herd. A highlight is Glenveagh Castle, a 19th-century mansion surrounded by ornate gardens, offering a glimpse into Ireland’s aristocratic past.
We then travel to Gweedore, the heart of the Donegal Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking
region). En route, marvel at Mount Errigal, Donegal’s highest peak. Enjoy a hearty
lunch at Leo's Tavern, the ancestral home of renowned musicians Clannad and
Enya, where the walls are lined with memorabilia celebrating their international
success. Enjoy dinner in one of the many pubs or restaurants in the town tonight.
