A continuation of the first day: Glendalough. This name means two lakes, or twin lakes. We walked to one lake, called the lower lake. Next to the lower lake is a whole monastery village (ruins thereof).

Gates/entrance to the monastery village at Glendalough
One of the hundreds of round towers doting the landscape in Ireland. It is speculated they were used for defense. Also, some of the literally hundreds of graves surrounding this site.
The Cathedral ruins

St Kevin's Church
The lower lake of Glendalough.
A view of the round tower from the road to the lake. From here we drove to Kinsale, which was quite a journey. We left Glendalough about 5:45 p.m. and arrived at our destination at 9:00 p.m.
