Set aside the tourist luxury of the tram and take a walk to the castle. The path is along the lake and it is beautiful. The castle is nice, but of comparatively recent vintage.

Glenveagh is a must visit if you're in this part of the world. Great views, interesting castle tour, beautiful gardens, walks of varying difficulites, good tea room. The castle and gardens is a 3km trip from the visitor centre, so unless you want to do the walk yourself, hop on the shuttle bus for 5 Euros.

we visited here in august time and there was loads of little flies about as there are alot of flowers and trees in the gardens of it. The tour guide is lovely and explains everything in detail and is open to any questions you want to ask.

The grounds and setting on the water are so picturesque. We made a visit to...

Irelands Tallest waterful, and lovely centre with gardens, unfortunatly we followed google maps directions and it brought us to a point miles away from the visitor centre, where the walk ended... we followed the track to the visitor centre however it was many miles and took a good few hours. Make sure you start at the visitor centre. The waterful...
