Ireland's Glenveagh National Park lies over 16,000 hectares in the North of County Donegal, in the Derryveagh Mountains, along the Lough Veagh.
Visitors can usually tour the Castle, built as a hunting lodge between 1867 and 1873 for John George Adair, who chose his cousin John Townsend Trench as the castle's architect. But today the castle was closed to the public because of ongoing pandemic precaution, but the grounds and gardens and multiple walking trails were open for exploration.
Due to rain all day, I decided to only walk one of the Park's five trails (the Lakeside Walk) in addition to the gardens.
For serious hikers, more information can be found about the trails here.
