Glendalough, County
Wicklow
| Glendalough
is a monastic site that was founded by St. Kevin in the sixth
century. The Gateway arches (below, center) lead you into the
cashel where you will find the often-photographed Round Tower,
remains of several churches and cathedrals, and old gravestones.
About 20 minutes west along a path through the woods, you
pass by the lower lake on your way to the upper lake and the
sloping mountains that surround it. There, the Caher, a stone
walled circular enclosure next to a simple cross (pictured
right), preside over the lake, mountains and woods which are
filled with waterfalls, crosses, temples, and St. Kevin's bed
and cell.
