The Derryveagh Mountains (Irish: Cnoic Dhoire Bheatha) are the major mountain range in County Donegal, Ireland and part of Glenveagh National Park.[1] The range makes up much of the landmass of the county and is the area of Ireland with the lowest population density.[citation needed] The mountains separate coastal parts of the county, such as Gweedore and Glenties, from the major inland towns such as Ballybofey and Letterkenny. The highest peak is Errigal, at 751 m (2,464 ft).[1][2] The area features several hiking trails.[3]
