Glendalough Valley in Wicklow Mountains National Park

2014/07/10

Wednesday was such a nice day in Ireland (guessing about 22C and sunny) that Veronica suggested a day trip out to Glendalough Valley in Wicklow Mountains National Park. It was about a 45 minute – 1hr drive to get there through some stunning small villages and slightly bigger towns. We went through Naas, Blessington, Hollywood (was called that before the LA Hollywood, they even have a sign on the mountain too but sun was in wrong place to photograph that and wouldn’t have come out at all) to get there.

It was stunning scenery out there and I had a brilliant time seeing the rolling hills and mountains and old buildings out there.
