Hill walking

Errigal Mountain is one of the most popular and sporting hill walking climbs in Ireland.

The ascent to Errigal in Dún Lúiche is clearly marked and this climb can be started at Mín na gCapóg near Dún Lúiche. Even though Errigal is the highest peak in Donegal it is a relatively easy climb and the visitor will be rewarded with a panoramic view of the three neighbouring parishes on reaching the summit. Other popular mountain climbs include Slieve Snaght, An Mhucais and the Poison Glen. Slieve League is spectacular and should not be missed as it has the highest sea cliffs in Western Europe.

Glenveagh National Park is one of the largest national parks in the country covering an area of approx. 14,000 hectares of mountains, lakes, glens and woods. The Park has also one of the largest herds of red deer in the country. The central feature is a nineteenth century castle surrounded by the famous Glenveagh Gardens. Facilities include a visitors centre, audio-visual show, exhibitions, restaurant, garden and Castle tea room, nature walks and garden tours. The park is located within easy reach of Annagry Ranafast Loughanure Bunbeg Derrybeg and Gweedore where the camping ground is located.
