Wicklow Mountains Tour - Ireland
This is a video I took during my vacation to Ireland in August 2010. This was from a tour through the Wicklow Mountains, near Dublin. I just decided to mess around with the video camera portion of my digital camera.
Scenic Wicklow Mountains/Historic Glendalough Monastery-Day Trip from Dublin, Ireland
We took a great day trip from Dublin to the beautiful Wicklow Mountains and the historic Glendalough Monastery with our singing tour guide. The scenic Wicklow mountains include a lot of bogs and streams-the Guinness family estate is here and the movie Braveheart was filmed in this area. The Glendalough monastery is several hundred years old and you can still see many of the old buildings, including the Round Tower, The Cathedral, the Priest's house, St. Kevin's Church, and the old cemetery. There is also a beautiful lake and green hills nearby.

Kilkenny Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough 1 Day Tour
Discover the magic of medieval Kilkenny, the beauty of Glendalough & the stunning Wicklow Mountains on our day tour from Dublin. For more information or to book this tour visit
Travel with us to the Medieval Capital of Ireland - THE MEDIEVAL CITY OF KILKENNY.
Explore the famous 12th century Kilkenny Castle majestically located on the banks of the River Nore. Kilkenny is the craft capital of Ireland, visit the famous Kilkenny Art & Design Centre and appreciate the tradition of arts and crafts in Ireland. In the courtyard, you can see these craftspeople at work. Goldsmiths, Sculptors, Painters and many more, these craftsmen and women are some of the most recognised artists in Ireland.
Stroll around its narrow cobbled streets, why not visit Ireland’s oldest brewery Saint Frances Brewery founded in the 14th century. Rothe House a magnificent example of a wealthy silk merchants house built in 1594. The house contains multiple medieval exhibits with so many priceless Viking artefacts. The medieval gardens are kept to period growing examples of plants and vegetables of the era such as Gortahok cabbage and blood of the Boyne apples. Take lunch in any of the many bistros and artisan cafes.
While in Kilkenny City you have the option of combining into your visit a trip to the historical Dunmore Caves. It is a place where myth & history blend. Dunmore is the site of the worst Viking massacre in Irish history (928AD). Explore the cave and its exhibits which are packed with many treasures and archaeological finds. The guides make it a magical experience, particularly when on some occasions there is a live tin whistle rendition in the bowels of the cave. The visit to the caves is entirely your choice on the day, the price of which is included in the ticket.
After lunch, we travel through the county of Carlow into the Wild and Rugged Wicklow Mountains. The landscape will change from lush green rich pasture with gentle valleys to the dramatic, the breathtaking ancient glacial valleys of the Wicklow Gap. Feast your eyes on the spectacular countryside and its scenic treasures, mountains, native plants and wildlife (A photographer’s dream).
The Wicklow Gap and its scenery is the most varied on the island of Ireland. The journey through the mountains brings you through the countryside where famous movies such as Brave Heart, and PS I Love You were filmed. Enjoy a 15 minute stop for a stroll and photographic opportunities on top of the Wicklow Mountains overlooking the glens and valleys of County Wicklow.
Continuing over the Mountains we arrive at the world-famous heritage site of Glendalough (Glen of two lakes). This Monastic site dates from 600 AD. It was the centre of learning and from where Christianity was re-introduced to northern and central Europe after what is known as the dark ages. Have you heard of “Ireland, land of Saints and Scholars”? Well, Glendalough is why. Saint Kevin founded his monastery in this valley and today much of the ancient architecture remains such as St Kevin’s Kitchen, Church and Round Tower. The tower was constructed as shelter for the Monks and their Latin Biblical manuscripts from the barbarous marauding Vikings.
The glen of the two lakes in the Irish language is Glendalough. The lower lake takes under an hour to walk and the upper just over an hour. Departing Glendalough we journey through the highest village in Ireland known as Roundwood, see the Sugarloaf Mountains which prior to the ice age were higher than the Alps, the Powerscourt Estate and the Glen of Imaal just before reaching Kilnacanogue. Sit back and be entertained by our tour guide with some story-telling and traditional Irish music. We arrive back in Dublin city at approximately 6pm. Now it’s time to enjoy what Dublin city has to offer!
Wicklow Mountains - The Best Day Trip from Dublin
Wicklow Mountains National Park is situated just south of Dublin. Covering 20,483 hectares, Wicklow Mountains National Park has the distinction of being the largest of Ireland’s six National Parks. It is also the only one located in the east of the country.
The National Park extends over much of the Wicklow mountains. Upland blanket bog and heath cover the upland slopes and rounded peaks. The wide open vistas are interrupted only by forestry plantations and narrow winding mountain roads. Fast-flowing streams descend into the deep lakes of the wooded valleys and continue their course into the surrounding lowlands.
The primary purpose of Wicklow Mountains National Park is the conservation of biodiversity and landscape. The Park is also an invaluable recreational space for locals and visitors alike. Over one million visits are estimated to be made each year. The most visited area is the scenic Glendalough Valley where the ancient monastic settlement of St. Kevin is located. Another scenic place is the Powerscourt Waterfall. Escape from the summer crowds is possible for those coming properly equipped to explore the uplands on foot, where a sense of wilderness and isolation can readily be found.
It is by far the best day trip destination from Dublin #wicklowmountains #indianinireland

-Dublin is the capital of and largest city in Ireland. Dublin is located in the province of Leinster on the east coast of Ireland, at the mouth of the River Liffey and bordered on the South by the Wicklow Mountains. The city has an urban area population of 1,173,179. The population of the Dublin Region, as of 2016, was 1,347,359 people, and the population of the Greater Dublin area was 1,904,806. There is archaeological debate regarding precisely where Dublin was established by Celtic-speaking people in the 7th century. Later expanded as a Viking settlement, the Kingdom of Dublin became Ireland's principal city following the Norman invasion. The city expanded rapidly from the 17th century and was briefly the second largest city in the British Empire before the Acts of Union in 1800. Following the partition of Ireland in 1922, Dublin became the capital of the Irish Free State, later renamed Ireland.
-Kilkenny is the county town of County Kilkenny in the province of Leinster in south-east Ireland. It is built on both banks of the River Nore. The 2016 census gave the total population of Kilkenny as 26,512. In 2009 the City of Kilkenny celebrated its 400th year since the granting of city status in 1609. Though referred to as a city, Kilkenny is actually a large town, the seventh largest town in Ireland. Kilkenny is a tourist destination, and its environs include historic buildings such as Kilkenny Castle, St. Canice's Cathedral and round tower, Rothe House, Shee Alms House, Black Abbey, St. Mary's Cathedral, Kilkenny Town Hall, St. Francis Abbey, Grace's Castle, and St. John's Priory.
