Glenveagh Castle situated on the shores of Lake Glenveagh, and is today, part of the National Park.  The castle was built around 1870 and is open to visitors during peak seasons.   (26 Kb)
The small twisting roads on the way to  West Donegal and a little village called Teelin bear no resemblance to the spectacular that awaits any visitor to  Slieve League.  This is the name of the mountain that dramatically drops down to the sea displaying one of the most breathtaking sea cliffs in the world.  The cliffs of Slieve League form the highest sea cliff face in Europe, yet it seems to escape most guide books and tourist trails.  It is most definitely a must when visiting Donegal!  (49 Kb)
