The ‘The Poisoned Glen’ is situated at the foot of Mount Errigal in Donegal and it is a most beautiful place. The name ‘The Poisoned Glen’ probably a mistranslation of the Irish name.  In earlier days locals would have only spoken Irish and they called this place ‘Gleann Nemhe’ ~ The Heavenly Glen.  The name in Irish for heaven is Neamh and the word for poison in Irish is neimhe ~ just one letter difference so it is easy to see how the words may have been mixed up when translated to English.  At any rate, the name Heavenly Glen so much better describes this beautiful place. There is a story as how this place got its name involving a one eyed giant and a curse etc but I think we’ll   stick to The Heavenly Glen.
