Glenvagh Castle


No signs of the little people or the faries or the lepricans but no end of magical places to explore... this castle was built in the north west wilds... we walked many km's to get there and it was totally worth the effort...

  1. I hope Aja's keeping a journal. It'll be something she'll value when she's older. Ireland looks beautiful.

  2. The correct name is Glenveagh Castle.

    Doug spelled the name the way it sounds, but as is common in the British Iles, the spelling is not that simple.

    This is a link to
    google maps that will show you where the castle is located

  3. I just noticed on the above link that the tags suggest that there is more than one Glenveagh Castle. To avoid confusion, this link puts the view over Glenveagh Castle National Park
