Just a stone's throw from Dublin, the glacially sculpted valley of Glendalough is perhaps the most rewarding day trip you can make in the area. Once you get enveloped with the blissful silence of the place, it is easy to understand why a hermit priest St Kevin chose it as the perfect setting for his monastic settlement (which is now one of the most important early Christian sites in Ireland). Beside splendid ruins, endless opportunities for lakeside and woodland walks make for an exceptionally tranquil and spiritually cleansing stay in a charming place shrouded in history and legend.
