Delightful Dunlewy Lough is dominated by the majestic peak of Errigal. From here, the mountain appears as a great scree-covered dome, not the intimidating pyramid it appears as from the north. To the south-east is the spectacular glacial scoop of the Poisoned Glen, scene of a legendary battle between the sun god Lú and the supernatural Formorian pirate Balor.
