Truly a place of beauty and sorrow rolled into one. A stunning setting. Thanks so very much for sharing this video with us.

[@nakedireland]

Thank you for watching, so glad you liked it.

It is the first touristic place I visited when I first arrived in Ireland from homeland France. It's a magic and beautiful place. It was in 1994. I stayed in Arklow. I made very good friends in county Wicklow. We're in 2022 and I'm still in contact with the Irish family that welcame me at that time. Each time I visit them I have the feeling meet members of my family. They make me feel at home. Glendalough is forever in my heart like the whole Wicklow County. Thank you for this beautiful and interesting video.

Je suis tellement heureux que vous ayez une expérience aussi positive de votre séjour en Irlande. Ça fait vraiment chaud au cœur. Je peux dire la même chose de votre propre pays. Je l’ai visité plusieurs fois quand mes enfants étaient jeunes et j’ai maintenant une maison dans la belle Corrèze, ou j’espère prendre ma retraite bientôt.

This is an incredible place of great historic and religious importance and significance. You feel that when you are walking around this beautiful setting.

[@nakedireland]

Couldn’t agree more. Great place to visit.

Beautiful

[@nakedireland]

Thanks for watching, what a gorgeous place it is!

I visited in May 2023 and it was like walking on Holy ground. Such a beautiful and peaceful place. If you visit Ireland then this is a must see.

[@nakedireland]

Well Clifton, of course it is Holy ground, and the stomping ground of St Kevin. A very learned place too! Thanks for watching and I hope you’ll discover more Naked Ireland videos.

I visited in 2018. Glendalough felt like home to me. I didn't want to leave. I plan on returning to one of my very favorite places on the planet as soon as I can. 💚

[@nakedireland]

It’s a very special place Cynthia, I don’t blame you for wanting to get back there.

[@cornerstonekilmartin]

Very impressive! Reminds me exactly of the visits we made 8 to 9 years ago when we lived nearby in Wicklow. Moving memories rekindled!

[@nakedireland]

I’m glad this brought back pleasant thoughts, yes, and who wouldn’t be impressed by this place.

[@eileenyoung6143]

Definitely worth a visit

[@nakedireland]

It gets a bit busy, though, in the summer Eileen. Prob this time of year is a good time to go there, don’t you think?

[@eileenyoung6143]

@@nakedireland yes you most probably right I was there 3 Saturdays ago with friend and Spanish students. Luckily it was a beautiful day 😊

[@nakedireland]

Yes, Sept is the perfect month perhaps, but I bet it was still packed with people even then?

[@JW-sb2wt]

Stopped there today! Worth a visit

[@nakedireland]

It’s probably not as packed at this time of year JW. It’s hard to move there in the summer, so as long as it was dry, great!

I visited Glendalough in March, 2018. Amazing site. Walked to both lakes, but one side of the valley was so icy we couldn't climb the hill. Strolled the boardwalk alongside the road instead. I hope to visit again on a day trip from Dublin this summer, and take the actual guided tour. This and the Rock of Cashel are must-see Christian tourist destinations. Clonmacnoise is also on my pilgrimage bucket list.

[@nakedireland]

Great advice there Patrick, Rock of Cashel and Clonmacnoise. I’ll follow up and do videos of both.

[@patrickdorn8652]

[@nakedireland]

Thanks so much Patrick.

[@g-dcomplex1609]

the tower is marvelous, modern builders today would struggle to match it's secrets in construction, i enjoy watching this video. regards.

[@nakedireland]

How would you construct that without cranes etc etc! Mind boggling!

[@g-dcomplex1609]

@@nakedireland you mention in the video that the tower once had six floors with stairs to the top, if that's the case? then whats holding it in shape if it's hollow inside?, mind boggling yes, i wonder if there is mortar used or is every flagstone dry fit? hard to tell from the images, thanks again.

[@nakedireland]

I’m guessing there would have to be some kind of mortar used?? But that’s not my field to be honest.

[@g-dcomplex1609]

@@nakedireland looks like some kind of cement holds it all together, i'll have to go take a look myself 😃

[@nakedireland]

Carry out a full structural survey and give us all a report!
