Danur Glendalough Monastery Rua

The monastic tower of Glendalough Abbey

The remains of the ancient main gates of the originally massive wall that enclosed much of Glendalough Valley

An ancient Celtic Cross style tombstone

The small chapel, one of the only buildings left standing in Glendalough after the English invasion

The hills surrounding Glendalough Valley

The woods that cover the valley floor reminded me of a mystical Elven vale


A small waterfall


Glendalough Vale


The cascades at the far end of the largest lake in the Glendalough Valley


A ancient cross, one of the oldest in this part of Ireland


Another view of the ancient cross


A picture of the brook that winds down through the valley with the tower and the chapel in the background
