Glendalough

County Wicklow

 

It is said that St. Kevin chose Glendalough for a monestary in the 6th century. It certainly is a beautiful and secluded location for such a place. Today visitors can come to the Upper and lower lake and enjoy the unsurpassed beauty of the country and the lakes. This is indeed a wonderful and inspirational location.
