Glenveagh Castle and National Park

With its magnificent mountains, pristine lakes, waterfalls, glens, native oak woods, and a picturesque castle with all its original furnishings, Glenveagh National Park and Castle is one of the most magical places to visit in Donegal.

The castle, 24km north west of Letterkenny, was styled as a romantic highland retreat and completed in 1873. It hosted many famous guests over the years including Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne.

Explore the Castle Gardens, known as some of the best in Ireland, and enjoy the Gothic Orangery, Italian Terrace, Tuscan Garden and walk the Pleasure Gardens. Afterwards, relax over lunch or coffee and homemade cakes in the pretty tearooms or courtyard.

Watch out for red deer or see if you can spot the rare Golden Eagles which were reintroduced to Glenveagh.

Ireland is at Level 5

Covid-19 Update

At Atlantic Way experience the health and safety of our guests, team members and local suppliers is our main priority. We are constantly trying our best to make things more flexible for you and to alleviate any worry of having to make decisions too early.

If you confirm a new booking to Ireland with AWE that at the time of booking does not have quarantine at either end (country of origin and destination), or advice against travel from the local authorities of each country, here is how you are covered if things change:

If up to 14 days before departure, there is advice against travel from the government or a national quarantine introduced at either end, you will be given these three options:

  1.   Travel as originally booked.
  2.   Change to new travel dates – no change fees will apply*^.
  3.   Issue a full refund**.

*We have been negotiating more flexible terms with many of our local suppliers. If there is a less flexible supplier involved in your booking, we will advise  at time of booking for any Tailor-Made Journeys (including Tailor-made Golf & Educational programs) and no later than 72 hours after you confirm your booking for any pre-arranged journeys (Signature Journeys, Authentic Irish Journeys and pre-arranged Golf journeys)

^ You can rebook your trip for any travel date throughout 2021. It does not have to be the same journey you originally booked. If the new trip is of greater value to the original booking, you will have to pay for the difference. If the value is less than your original booking, we will refund you the difference. Please note new travel dates are always subject to availability.

**At AWE we will endeavour to give you the option of a full refund wherever possible. This is completely depended on the cancellation of our local suppliers and we will not be able to refund you if our suppliers do not refund us. As mentioned above, we will advise you of the supplier’s policy depending on your program, either at the time of booking or no later than 72 hours after you confirm your booking.

Should you have any queries or concerns please do not hesitate to contact our team on: +353(0)85 247 1510, +353(0)87 124 5587 or via email enquieries@atlanticwayexperience.com to answer any queries you may have.

We look forward to welcoming you in Ireland when the time is right 🙂
