    I felt connected to this cottage because my great grandfather helped build it. Full of history of WW1 and Private John Porter and his family who lived there. Saved from demolition by the Vietnam Vets and now owned by National trust. Worth a visit

    Really special to be able to visit this place! Make sure you do you research to find out what days they are open, as the Cottage only opens to public a few times a year. We happened to drive past on Purple Poppy Day and attended a touching ceremony honoring the animals that have served in wars past and present.

    Informative tour by Ann descendant of Private Porter the first occupant. Of special interest to our group as our great- grandfather and great-grandmother were there providing their services on the day it was built in 35-degree heat.

👍 Glendalough Open Space is an excellent place to take your dog for a walk. However there are no bins around, anywhere! I can make do with poo bags not being provided (I bring my own) and no water stations (again, I bring my own). But given there's also a kids' playground - and kids & parents leave ru...
