Review:
Found in County Wicklow, Glendalough is known for its tranquil and scenic landscapes. The city's name means 'the valley of the two lakes' and the outdoor recreation combined with the historic and archaeological significance of the city draw thousands of visitors each year. Most visitors come to Glendalough to see the Monastic City which includes churches and the round tower in Wicklow Mountains National Park where there is also access to the lakes and hiking trails. Other outdoor activities include fishing, cycling, horseback riding, and golfing. There are many festivals held in Glendalough that are great excuses for a day trip from Dublin including The Walking Festival, The Bealtaine Festivals, The Festival of St. Kevin, and the Wicklow Gardens Festival.
