Went to Glendalough on a rainy day, yet the weather did not stop me from visiting the impressive ruins. Had to go back a second time and was blessed with a sunny day while strolling through the historic grounds. The long scenic hike was absolutely awesome. I left this place serene & so grateful for having seen it twice. Please make sure you check out 'God's Bookstore' on your way out, to the left of the exit. Bring good walking shoes and you may also want to pack a picnic basket to enjoy by the lake . You simply cannot overlook this site !

This place is truly magical and will take your breath away. Great spot for walkers and ramblers alike. Watch out for the sign that says 'dogs found worrying sheep will be shot'. Very father ted!

I visited Glendalough during my stay in Dublin, and used Over the Top Tours. The history in this place is astounding, and the natural beauty is unforgettable. It's very calm and serene, and a guide will help you learn all about the area. In addition to seeing the ruins, you can go on a lot of scenic hikes around the park. Highly recommended!

It was fifteen centuries ago that Saint Kevin discovered this place and upon visiting it ourselves, it is easy to understand why did the hermit priest deem it as touched by the divine, for its landscapes are indeed mesmerizing.For starters, one can enjoy an enthralling stroll through the park without having to pay for anything, just don't forget to bring your confortable shoes, since it will probably take you a very long while until you're done appreciating all that nature has to offer in Glendalough.Moreover, there are some historical attractions to those willing to learn more about the Irish legend and lore. So you can have a very restful trip while still expanding your knowledge over the country's history,In conclusion, Glendalough is hands down an absolute must if you ever visit Ireland and I assure you that you won't regret any minute of it!

If you like history and architecture then be sure to stop at Glendalough.It is very well preserved and a really lovely stroll. It's interesting to read about all the culture. I believe its free to visit the site.You only need to pay if you visit the visitor centre. (It begins at the tourist centre so this may not be apparant) although I think the centre is a reasonable enough price.

The walk fom the monastic city onwards and upwards into the mountains is a wonderful recreational pastime.The choice of walking trail is immense ,from Derrybawn to Mullacor and the Lugduffs and then on the other side of the valley is Camaderry.

Here with a group of 90 and had a very enjoyable morning walking along the very well maintained paths to the upper lake and the miners village. Good toilet facilities and a nearby tea/coffee bar at reasonable prices. Appears to be well used all the year long - well worth the visit.

Nice place for walks and picnics. As usually family friendly environment. And rather good small food place at Upper lake parking. Marvelous views, scenic old monastery

I spent two nights in The Glendalough Hotel so I found myself walking through the old ruins a few times over while on route back to hotel from walk.It was raining for most of my trip but this only added to the feel of this beautiful place. Next time I come here I will book a tour and find out the stories behind the old ruins.
