EDITORS COMMENTS
Marble Ch. and Poison Glen, Dunlewy: A Captivating View into an Irish Glen Surrounded by Mountains and Home to a Secluded Church Nestled in the heart of County Donegal, Ireland, lies the picturesque and enchanting scene of Marble Ch. and Poison Glen, Dunlewy. This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, invites us to explore the natural beauty and rich history of this hidden gem. The image showcases a breathtaking view into the Poison Glen, a secluded glen surrounded by towering mountains. The name Poison Glen is believed to originate from the presence of yew trees, which were once used for medicinal purposes but were also believed to be poisonous. The lush greenery and crystal-clear water of the glen create a serene and idyllic setting. In the foreground, the ruins of Marble Church stand proudly, adding a sense of history and mystery to the scene. The church, which dates back to the 18th century, was once a place of worship for the local community. Its name is said to derive from the marble-like appearance of the limestone used in its construction. The mountains that encircle the glen add a sense of grandeur and majesty to the landscape. Their rugged peaks and steep slopes create a dramatic backdrop, highlighting the beauty and isolation of the glen. This photograph is a testament to the natural and cultural wonders that can be found in the Irish countryside. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature and the rich history that lies hidden in the most unexpected places.
