Glendalough

Glendalough is a glacial valley within Wicklow National Park that contains two lakes and is famous for its early Christian ecclesiastical settlement that was founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century.

There are many walking trails of varying difficulty around Glendalough.

These include a reasonably level walk to the ruins of an abandoned lead mining village at the west end of the Upper Lake.
