The Poisoned Glen
River running through The Poisoned Glen towards the Derryveagh Mountains in Dunlewey in Co Donegal.
"The Irish word for poison, "neimhe" (pronounced niv-uh), differs in its spelling by only one letter from the word for Heaven, "neamh" (pronounced nyow-uh). The glen used to be called the Heavenly Glen by local people, as it was, to them, like they imagined Heaven itself to be.
