and life-changing letters, not to mention displaying the stunning County Wicklow,
countryside at its most glorious.

Justifiably known as The Garden of Ireland, Wicklow is exquisitely blanketed with luminous shades of green, rolling hills,
deep moody loughs and craggy mountainous terrain.
Glendalough
(Gleann Dá Loch) “Valley of the Two Lakes”
is a fascinating monastic settlement in a spectacular natural setting just an hour south of Dublin. The monastery was founded by St. Kevin, a hermit monk who died about 618 AD. The extensive ruins of Glendalough include several early churches, a graceful round tower, and various sites associated with the life of St. Kevin.
The area is ideal for walking at all levels, ranging from a short stroll around the ruins to demanding mountain hikes.
Lonely Planet Ireland calls Glendalough "truly one of the most beautiful places in Ireland and a highlight of any trip to the island.
