Victorian castle and garden set in 16,000 hectare National Park. The 11 hectare woodland garden was designed and planted for Henry McIlhanny by Jim Russell and Lanning Roper has an extensive plant collection. The remarkable ‘jardin potager’ is filled with flowering herbaceous plants, herbs and fruit. Formal Italianate gardens are furnished with fine statues and terracotta pots. At Glenveagh the concepts of Garden and Nature are fused.
