 Avalon is only 5 to 10 minutes walk from Glendalough famed for it’s beauty and historic monuments. Here in the 6th century St. Kevin founded a monastery which expanded and flourished for about 600 years before been destroyed in 1398. The buildings which remain probably date from between the 8th and 12th centuries. The most notable being the round tower which is still in superb condition and the stone churches and decorated crosses. Having wandered around the monastic city why not then take a stroll around the lakes. Glendalough is a walkers paradise.
