Nestled in the heart of County Wicklow, Glendalough is a gem of history, spirituality and natural splendor that beckons discerning travelers. As you embark on a bespoke journey through South Dublin and towards the Garden of Ireland with your own luxury chauffeur driver, allow us to transport you back in time to the enchanting Valley of the Two Lakes, where history, spirituality, and stunning landscapes converge.
Glendalough History and spirituality : The Legacy of St. Kevin
Glendalough, meaning “Glen of the Two Lakes,” is steeped in history dating back to the 6th century when a monastery was founded there by St. Kevin, a hermit monk. St. Kevin‘s legacy is woven into the fabric of this serene valley, where he sought solitude and spiritual solace. His dedication and piety attracted followers, leading to the establishment of the monastic settlement which became a seminary and a beacon of learning and devotion through Ireland and beyond.
Our exclusive tour begins at the Visitor Centre, where you will gain insights into the life and times of St. Kevin. As you step into the past, imagine the tranquility that drew him to this sacred site, and feel the presence of centuries-old monastic life that still resonates today.
Architectural Wonders: A Glimpse into the Past
A stroll around the lake’s shore reveals Glendalough’s most iconic structures. The Round Tower, an imposing 30-meter high edifice, served as a bell tower, storage facility, and refuge during Viking invasions. Its remarkable preservation and strategic design offer a glimpse into the ingenuity of early Irish architecture.
The picturesque remains of the Cathedral, once the heart of the monastic city, stand as a testament to the site’s historical significance. Marvel at the intricate stonework of St. Kevin’s Church, known as the “Kitchen,” and the Reefert Church, where the local chieftains were laid to rest.
Natural Splendour: The Valley of Serenity
Beyond its historical allure, Glendalough is a haven of natural beauty. Our luxury tour ensures you experience the serene landscapes that have captivated visitors for centuries. The two glacial lakes, Upper and Lower, shimmer like jewels amidst the verdant valley, offering breathtaking vistas and tranquil moments of reflection.
A guided walk along the lakeshore trails or a more challenging hike to the Spinc Ridge rewards you with panoramic views that are nothing short of awe-inspiring.
