View of Poisoned Glen and Dunlewey Church

Arriving at the top of Errigal, you will be rewarded with a magnificent panorama overlooking the Poisoned Glen Valley and the entire Glenveagh National Park.

You will also see the Dunlewey Church, a superb Irish church dating from the 12th century, located at the very foot of Errigal Mountain. The church is located in the middle of nowhere, in large expanses of red and stony moorland … So much to say that the show is simply magnificent!
