Glendalough

A historic valley famed for its early medieval monastic settlement and scenic Irish lakes nestled amidst Wicklow Mountains National Park.

Tips from the community

Located in the Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough is every photographer's dream. With marked walking trails, you can spend the rest of the day passing by ancient monastic sites, lakes, and you might even see some wild goats! There are a few food stands located near the entrance and public toilets located at the Monastic Site visitor center.

  • Day Trips From Dublin

    katie (Katie Camille)
    If you're staying in Dublin, these day trips were my favorite way to explore Ireland while keeping Dublin as our home base. We booked through Paddywagon Tours, but if you feel comfortable driving on the left side of the road then you can easily rent a car and drive it yourself! Looking back, I wish we drove it ourselves but we were on a time crunch so we couldn't afford to get lost. You'll be back just in time to grab a pint of Guinness from a local pub.
