Glenveagh (Gleann Bheatha)
— covering 11 hectares of hillside above Glenveagh
Castle on the shore of Lough Veagh (Irish:Loch Ghleann
Bheatha), some 20 km from Gweedore in County Donegal,
Ireland — forms the heart of the Glenveagh National
Park, the largest in Ireland. The network of mainly
informal gardens displays a multitude of exotic and
delicate plants from as far afield as Chile, Madeira
and Tasmania, all sheltered by windbreaks of pine trees
and ornamental rhododendrons.

Gleann Bheatha translates into English as "Glen of the
Birches".
The estate was established by John Adair who was
infamous for evicting 244 of his tenants and clearing
the land so they would not spoil his view of the
landscape.
The gardens and castle were presented to the Irish
nation in 1981 by Henry P. McIlhenny of Philadelphia
who had purchased the estate in 1937.
The park now has the largest herd of Red Deer in
Ireland and Golden Eagle, formerly extinct in Ireland,
were reintroduced into the park in 2000.
