Glendalough Heritage Site


Rosemary did some washing before we left the Hidden Valley site then we went to the famous monastery ruins at Glendalough, the second most visited tourist destination in Ireland. We have been here briefly before but spent more time today in the visitor centre learning about Saint Kevin who founded the original monastery. Then we did the 2 mile circular walk to the upper lake in the picturesque valley. Glen-da-lough means valley of two lakes.

It's a pity about the weather, last night's clear skies have turned into dull overcast, but at least it has not rained.

We are stopping overnight in the large wooded parking area with Irish and Austrian motorhomes. It's free, Rosemary loves it!
