Glendalough
National park
👍👍 Amazing scenery, but be ready for the weather changes: it changes so quickly and so often. We had sun, light rain, heavy shower back to sun, then a shower, sun, extremely heavy rain all within one hour. The pink walk alongside the main falls is well worth doing with a good wide path. (Brown is hard...

Miners Village
Tourist attraction
👍👍 A nice walk from the upper car park, if you go up the path to top of the water fall is about 5k, and 40 flights, a bit rocky so you would want decent shoes or boots for the last bit up the water fall. There are toilets at this car park and the barrier accepts card payment. There are great views both...

👍👍 A beautiful monastery in a picturesque glacial valley. St Kevin founded a monastery here in the early 600’s AD, surrounded by woods, lakes, and the steep slopes of the nearby hills. The monastery contains a fine example of a round tower, as well as smaller monastic buildings in the vicinity. Some a...

👍👍 Apart from the monastic city, there are many hiking paths you can take ranging in different levels of difficulty. The waterfall walk was also very nice and you can walk around the lakes where it is very photogenic. There is no need to pay for entering the visitor centre because you can access everyt...

Cullens Sheep Farm
Tourist attraction
👍👍 OMG no words. Very amazing experience. We bought a tour that included the visit to this lovely farm. In the visit was included: watching sheep dog at it's work - reacting to the comands and moving sheep around based on those comands. Another one and the most enjoyable was holding a lamb 🥰. Even th...

👍👍 Today, i took the Red route. It's an amazing trek through the forest/woodlands, but it's also a very long and difficult walk... about 13km (3 hours). Lots of wildlife to see, too, depending on the day. I will do the white route next time.
