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...

Victor's Way
Sculpture museum
👍👍 I recently visited Victor's Way and had a great experience. The park is quite spacious, and considering the €10 entrance fee, it is well-maintained and worth the money. I would suggest paying at the park instead of booking online to avoid any extra charges, and if there's no one at the entrance, you...

😠 Lovely menu, food was fresh and very tasty and service was friendly and professional. Bar itself was pleasant but corridor carpet leading to bar was grubby. Lovely ouside area too which would be a perfect spot for a food stop on a dry day.

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...
