7 years in a cave. Would you last a week? According to legend, St Kevin did exactly that, spending seven years in this tiny cave beside Glendalough’s Upper Lake, surrounded by the Wicklow Mountains. While we can’t promise the same level of solitude, you can visit the very landscape where this incredible story began. And trust us, Glendalough has plenty more stories about where that came from.

Thank you so much for this lovely review! We're delighted Pat's storytelling kept you so engaged through Wicklow, Glendalough and Kilkenny, and that Brian kept the journey running smoothly throughout. It's wonderful to hear the walk by the two lakes and the stop at St Kevin's Monastery left you wanting to learn even more about Ireland. Thank you for travelling with us, we'd love to welcome you back again soon.

Did you know August opens with one of Ireland's oldest celebrations?

Lughnasadh marks the start of the harvest season, named for the god Lugh and celebrated across Ireland for thousands of years with hilltop gatherings, feasting and storytelling.

Traces of these ancient traditions still linger in the landscapes we visit every day, from the hillside of the Wicklow Mountains to the quiet corners of Glendalough.

Come explore the stories written into the land.
