Donegal Garden Trail

The Donegal Garden Trail links private and public gardens across County Donegal, allowing visitors to plan a route between them rather than seeking each one out separately. Gardens on a trail like this range from formal planting to woodland, coastal and cottage styles, shaped by Donegal’s mild but windy Atlantic climate.

It suits a day or two of unhurried travelling, with the drives between gardens taking in a good deal of the county’s scenery. Individual gardens set their own opening arrangements and many are seasonal, with some open by appointment only, so check current details before setting out.
