"Départ de la randonnée autour de Glendalough Upper Lake"

"In a valley carved out by glaciers and surrounded by the rugged peaks of the Wicklow Mountains, a nobleman rejected the trappings of his privileged life and retreated into a cave for religious reflection. St. Kevin, born in 498, later established Glendalough monastery on the site, attracting like-minded disciples who studied and prayed in the monastic city for more than 900 years. The monastery survived scores of Viking attacks over the years (perhaps due to the hundred-foot-tall round tower that provided both lookout and refuge for besieged monks), but it couldn’t withstand the ravages of Henry VIII, who officially dissolved it in 1539. Many of its buildings still remain, providing a snapshot of monastic life to visitors who often link an official tour of the grounds with several other excellent walks (> https://www.wicklowmountainsnationalpark.ie/walkingtrails.html ) in the Glendalough Valley. The roofless 12th-century cathedral is the largest ruin on the site, but several other churches, a high cross devoted to St. Kevin, and a tiny chapel with a steeply pitched stone roof and circular belfry pay homage to centuries of quiet devotion in the picturesque valley."
