GLENDALOUGH, COUNTY WICKLOW, IRELAND



Glendalough or Glendaloch (/ˌɡlɛndəˈlɒx/ GLEN-də-LOKH; Irish: Gleann Dá Loch, meaning "glen of two lakes") is a glacial valley in County Wicklow, Ireland. It is renowned for its Early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin, a hermit priest, and partly destroyed in 1398 by English troops. Every time I visit Ireland, I'll spend some tome there... Definitely my favourite place.
