Oakfield Park

A lush landscape containing parkland, mature woodlands, formal gardens, lakes and breath-taking vistas surround the beautifully restored Oakfield House which dates back to 1739. Oakfield Park includes beautiful walled gardens with deep flower beds, a kitchen garden, flower meadows, ponds, streams, wetlands, a parterre, a castle, a classical lakeside Nymphaeum, garden sculptures, heritage listed trees and a newly established international collection of oaks.

The park can be explored on foot or by train on the 4.5km narrow gauge railway. Bring the family and spend hours exploring the Secret Jewel in the Heart of Donegal. Children’s slide and swings, picnic benches and WC provided for visitors.
