Glendalough in Wicklow

We had planned on visiting Glendalough in Wicklow for a walk on Saturday but it was bucketing down rain so we left it until today which was beautifully fine.


The round tower (the monks bell tower is quite stunning) and Ciaran pointed out how amazing the church is with its stone roof.

I popped in for a quick visit to the cute little Information Centre.

Which housed these creepy stuffed animals!!!


I don't know if it was warm enough to go paddling in the water - but these kids obviously thought it was!!

The little cottage below is a craft shop and the larger building is the Glendalough Hotel.  It really is a very scenic area and we had such a good day!

We had such a lovely walk around the lake area it was the perfect end to a great Bank Holiday.

When the weather is good Ireland is the best little country in the world!!
