Glenmore Rivers

Oakfield Park is a meticulously restored 18th-century estate that has become one of Donegal’s most cherished attractions. Spread across 100 acres of stunning landscapes, this award-winning park invites visitors to immerse themselves in its enchanting blend of history, nature, and family-friendly activities.

Every step in the park reveals a hidden gem—from the vibrant walled gardens and serene ponds to the lakeside nymphaeum, majestic heritage trees, and intricate sculptures. Children will delight in making a wish at the magical Faerie Tree or adventuring through the park’s extensive trails and hedge maze. Nearby, the scenic Castle Folly stands amid flower meadows and wild wetlands.

A standout feature is the renowned miniature gauge railway—the longest in Ireland. During the season, visitors can enjoy daily passenger trips on charming diesel trains, while a traditional steam train operates on the last Sunday of every month. This unique experience offers a delightful journey through flower-filled meadows, enchanting woodlands, and the estate’s breath-taking gardens.

After exploring, guests can unwind at Buffers Restaurant, which serves a delicious menu of Donegal’s finest cuisine crafted from home-grown produce. The park also boasts a vibrant outdoor playground, ensuring endless fun for little adventurers.
