Glendalough monastery (situated about thirty kilometers from Dublin) was founded by St Kevin in the 6th century. It is difficult not to be profoundly affected by the dramatic beauty of the saint's chosen retreat. The monastic remains - including a superb round tower, stone churches and decorated crosses - sit in a glaciated valley with two lakes. A modern visitors' center has an interesting exhibition and an audio-visual show. French, German, Spanish and Swedish guided tours are available all year through advance booking. Walkers can choose from a selection of trails through the nearby woods.
