Today we ventured out and toured the countryside with a visit to County Wicklow, stopping at the Powerscourt Estate and then later into Glendalough. Powerscourt Estate dates back to the 1600’s and is known as one of the most beautiful country estates in Ireland. We spent most of our time wandering through the formal terraced gardens, and I stumbled across an isolated cemetery (spotted from my visit to the top of the Watchtower).
Glendalough (pronounced Glenda-loch) is a valley located amongst the Wicklow Mountains and is the site of the remains of the 6th century monastery started by St. Kevin. It also has an example of a “round tower” which is specific to the Irish countryside.
