Map showing the location of Galway's Land National Park

Galway's Land National Park is a small national park situated within the city limits of Nuwara Eliya in Sri Lanka. Having been declared as a wildlife sanctuary on 27 May 1938, the Galway's Land was elevated to the national park status on 18 May 2006. The park was declared to conserve the montane ecosystem.[1] Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka considers the Victoria park of Nuwara Eliya and the Galway's Land as two of the most significant birding sites in Sri Lanka.[3] Galway's Land harbours about 20 very rare migrant bird species and 30 native species. Apart from the avifauna, the park has valuable floral species of both native and foreign origin.[4] Galway Forest Lodge is located close to the park.[5]
