Exploring the ABANDONED Dunlewey Church, Poisoned Glen, Co. Donegal

Join Heather at Heather's Backyard as I embark on an enchanting journey to the abandoned Dunlewey Church in County Donegal, Ireland! This historic gem, nestled at the base of the stunning Poisoned Glen and overlooked by Mount Errigal, is a must-see for history and architecture lovers alike. Built in 1853 as a memorial by Jane Russell Smith for her husband James Russell, this Church of Ireland building is a masterpiece of white marble and blue quartzite construction. 🏰✨ Although now in ruins, the church still holds onto its timeless charm with remnants of its original plaster and beautifully preserved red brick window splays. The grounds also feature a poignant reminder of its history. The grave of Richard Lewis Crankshaw, a former owner of the Dunlewey Estate. Fun fact: The church served as a magical backdrop for Enya's 1988 music video, Na Laetha Geal M'óige! 🎶 Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to Heather's Backyard for more adventures! 🌍✨ 📍 Location: Dunlewey Church, Poisoned Glen, County Donegal, Ireland 📷 Follow me on Instagram: @HeathersBackyard 🎥 Watch more:    • Heather's Irish Adventures   More Details: https://www.welovedonegal.com/old-chu... #abandonedplaces #DunleweyChurch #CountyDonegal #HeatherExplores #IrelandHistory Music Credit Stage 1 Level 24 Momplaisir Music: https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Copyright @Heathersbackyard.
