The Wicklow Mountains National Park saw me return four times from all sides of the Ireland coastline. I loved the place so much that I cancelled non-refundable hotel bookings so I could stay at Glendalough Hotel just to be closer. The Wicklow Mountains has something for everyone: history; cinema references (the PS I Love You bridge) amongst many more; scenery for the photographer; hiking and silence for those craving it. My next trip to Ireland will be based in and around the Wicklow Mountains for a minimum of a week. This place is so far, one of the more beautiful places I've ventured.

St Kevin’s Way is a 30 Km (18 mile) route from Hollywood, following in the footsteps of St. Kevin through the hills of Co. Wicklow to the Valley of Glendalough where he spent the rest of his life in solitary prayer and contemplation. After Kevin’s death in AD 618, what had been a humble hermit’s retreat developed into an impressive monastic city which was to continue as a centre of piety and learning for many years to come. Since we were staying in Glendalough we decided to walk from there back in the direction towards Hollywood. The route then is along the banks of the Glendasan River in the Valley of Glendalough. It passes along an easy country roadway and through beautiful woodlands, until it reaches a disused Mine. We climbed part of the rocky area to sit by a small waterfall where we had our sandwich, and contemplated the beautiful valley. We returned by the same route. A lovely relaxed walk on which we were lucky to see young deer grazing in the hills above us. Suitable for families and people with reduced mobility.
