Over the weekend I visited Glenveagh Castle located in Glenveagh National Park in County Donegal, Ireland. This is a beautiful area of the Irish countryside and the castle grounds are quite impressive. Just a few photos taken in the rain! Even when raining, its beautiful!
At one stage this estate was owned by an American from Philadelphia, who purchased it in 1937, and later gave it to the Irish government.
The grounds contain lovely woodland walks, and lots of interesting planting. |
The main plating scheme in the walled garden area contains alternate rows of flowers and vegetables. It makes quite an attractive display. |
The gardener's cottage is lovely and is located in the walled garden - so quaint! |
