Hiking in Glendalough

Overview

The mystical Glendalough valley is tucked right in the middle of the Wicklow mountains, just south of Dublin.

It is renowned for being a Monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St. Kevin, a hermit priest. These mountains hold amazing scenery in all four seasons, hiking high into the Glendalough region will unveil it’s true majesty.

I have been hiking in Glendalough for 27 years.

Glendalough was my training ground for climbing Everest in 2008 and we have lead many groups in and around these mountains for years. This peaceful place will inspire and hopefully draw you back for more of these wondrous hills.
