"GLENDALOUGH: A lonely valley of great beauty situated in the heart of
the Wicklow Mountains, 30 miles south of Dublin. The site of one of Ireland's most
famous monastic cities. Founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century, it attracted students
from all over Christendom, until its destruction in the 14th century. The ruins
