The Derryveagh Mountains are without doubt one of Ireland’s most important mountain ranges. The peaks are numerous and imposing, occupying a large part of Glenveagh National Park.
Although some peaks are clearly inaccessible, you’ll be able to climb the less demanding mountains. Always bring good walking shoes, a rucksack, a windbreaker, food and drink… and don’t forget the essential camera to capture the best views!
Among the most beautiful peaks, don’t miss Errigal Mountain, the highest mountain in the Derryveagh Mountains: it’s magnificent and has a superb ruined church below: the Dunlewey Church, now abandoned and bringing an added charm to the region!
