We went on September 25th and it was our first stop after arriving in Dublin. It was the perfect way to kick off our Ireland vacation. It takes a little over an hour to get from Dublin airport to Glendalough (slightly more if you are learning to drive on the opposite side!), so you can definitely do this as a day trip from Dublin. There is parking lot and a small visitor center which contain restrooms. The people at the V.C. desk were able to direct us to the walkway. You can walk around the cemetery and ruins. There were smaller pathways that you could take, so we took one that seemed less traveled. Mainly because there was a large group of students on a field trip which were being quite loud (as high schoolers do). The path we took had benches scattered throughout to stop and really immerse yourself in the quiet and beauty of it all.

I was here in august and the weather was beautiful . We went into the visitor’s centre first and it’s so tranquil. Saint Kevins church is lovely but it’s closed during Covid. We went in and had coffee and brack. It’s delicious. Everywhere was very well equipped for Covid . Staff were excellent and it’s just a different experience but still great. We walked down to the grotto which I love. It’s very special. What a stunning place but it was so quiet.. sign of the terrible times.
