Connemara National Park
RewildingGalway
Summer 2026 Opening Information The Park is open 7 days a week but Glenveagh Castle is closed on Mondays and Fridays. There may be additional closures of the castle at short notice. We apologise for any disappointment this causes.
Please watch for updates on social media or call 01 539 3232 to check openings on the day of your planned visit. We’re part of The Green Flag Award and are working towards museum standard for the Castle. We’re also an accredited Leave No Trace training provider and Discover Science Centre as part of Science Foundation Ireland.
We’re passionate about helping young people discover more about our natural world and how to care for it. We welcome hundreds of students each year to explore all areas of the park and to enjoy the benefits of time in the great outdoors while learning about how they can protect nature in their own lives and communities. Glenveagh is managed by Ireland’s National Parks and Wildlife Service, with a staff which includes a Divisional Manager, Regional Manager and District Conservation Officer.
They support the lead staff who manage our teams at Glenveagh in Administration, Education & Engagement, Visitor Services, Gardens, Building & Maintenance and Rangers. We’re also joined by seasonal staff throughout the year. Meet the Glenveagh staff below.
