Glendalough

Glendalough is about an hour from Dublin in the Wicklow Mountains in County Wicklow. The Glendalough monastery ruins are from the 9th century. It has a round tower that was used as a lookout by the monks for Vikings and other invaders. They would then all go into the tower when threatened.

Glendalough means the 'meeting place of two lakes'.

It was a pretty drive there through the Wicklow countryside.Læs mere
