Glendalough in Ireland's Wicklow Mountains National Park preserves an early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the sixth century by St. Kevin.

---

Thought to date from between the 10th and 12th centuries, the remains of St. Kevin's Church, a separate round tower known as St. Kevin's Kitchen, and ancient graveyard draw visitors at Glendalough in Ireland's Wicklow Mountains National Park. Sited in a glacial valley in County Wicklow, its heart is an early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin. Glendalough is often included in day trips from Dublin.
