Glendalough & Wicklow Mountains Tour from Dublin

Visit Wicklow Mountains National Park and the Monastery in Glendalough

Dublin is a wonderful place but sometimes it's good to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and be at one with nature. You can do just that on this Wicklow Mountains tour and visit to Glendalough. 

From Upper O'Connell Street, this Wicklow Mountain tour and Glendalough Monastery tour departs in a modern air conditioned coach, which heads to the mountains. The Wicklow Mountains are a sight to behold, when you arrive there you will instantly fall in love with the gorgeous landscape and charming people of Wicklow. This tour of the Wicklow Mountains will also take you to Glencree Valley and Sally Gap. Your Wicklow tour guide will be able to feed you information about the area as well as tell you legends and tales from the Wicklow Mountains. Incredibly the Hollywood blockbuster about the most famous Scot, Braveheart was actually filmed around the Wicklow Mountains and you will get to see where some of the most dramatic scenes were filmed. 

Positioned in the centre of the Wicklow Mountains is a wonderful 10th century Monastery, Glendalough. Considered to be the jewel in the crown of the Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough Monastery is a fascinating place full of mystery. Upon visiting Glendalough, you will also get to see the round tower, a settlement where the monks would have lived. There are several amazing photo opportunities on this Wicklow Mountains tour and none better than the Guinness Lakes and Glencree Valley.

You maybe a little thirsty after tracking the walkways, so next, it's off to Fitzgerald's pub, a typically Irish pub. Here we stop for a hearty meal, perhaps a whiskey or two and converse with fellow Wicklow Mountain tour goers about an amazing day. Upon our stop at Fitzgerald's it's time to board the coach back to Dublin.

It's recommended that when you take this tour of Glendalough and visit the Wicklow Mountains that you bring with you suitable footwear and a decent jacket. There is a lot of being out in the open and plenty of walking so it's a good idea to have some comfortable shoes on. The Wicklow Mountains tour departs at 09:15 from Upper O'Connell Street and we recommend that you arrive there at least 15 minutes before the coach is scheduled to depart. Please be aware that although the meal at Fitzgerald's is supplemented, there is an additional €10 charge if you wish to dine there.
