Glendalough Hermitage Centre is a place of welcome and pilgrimage where people can reconnect with the roots of their deepest spiritual energies and experience the presence of God both within themselves and in the peace of this sacred place. Accommodation is available for pilgrims in five hermitages (or cillins). While secluded they are close to Laragh village and approx 1 km from Glendalough Monastic Site and National Park.
Looking for a peaceful retreat or getaway? Glendalough, long connected with spirituality, can offer you a choice of stress free retreat centres to centre yourself and meditate on the important things in life. Achieve a calm mind and flowing energy in the majestic surroundings of Glendalough County Wicklow.
Situated within a beautiful and historic place, Tearmann (Sanctuary) provides a quiet, prayerful space for people to take time for rest and reflection on their life and faith story. The approach links the personal experience with the bigger story as expressed in the environment, history and spiritual tradition of Glendalough.
Accommodation is in three self-catering apartments with seven en suite bedrooms in total.
I am considering planning an international music camp for the Center in early June or September, 2016. My estimate is that we will have 80 people ranging in age from 50-90.
Most will want rooms with baths. Do you have that? Please send information.
I’ve been trying to reach the Glendalough Hostel, however the email address: glendaloughyh@ireland.com does not seem to be working. Is there possibly another email address at which they can be reached?
Are there mountains and hills to climb when hiking with mike? How many miles can we cover for a full day? Are there hikes that we could do on our own? Thank you!

I am wondering about the feasibility of catering for 20+ people for a 1-2 nights in July? Firstly is it feasible and secondly could you give me an indication of price?
Hi bego,
not in the Summer months because there is daylight until around 21:00. In the evening the midges(biting flies) are out and this may get annoying for walkers.
My wife and I are planning to take St. Kevin’s Bus from Dublin to the visitor’s center in early October. Can we walk around the Monastic sites or do we have to make some formal arrangement?
Good morning. I’m a spanish girld and I’m going to ireland in a few months, but I would know some information. Four years ago, I did a tour of Wicklow and Glendalough, but now I’m going to see again for my own in a car.
I will be in Wicklow in 1st April (Sunday) and I would know how can I go to Glendalough and where I can left the car while we see glendalough. And the other site, I remember that in the tour we could see a place where was filmed Braveheart, but I don’t know how arrive to this place. Can you help us?
Hi, you can park in the Visitor Centre and walk around Glendalough from there.Here is a link for film locations including Braveheart Drive in Wicklow. http://visitwicklow.ie/attractions/wicklow-films-drives/. Hope you have a lovely visit.
Hi!. I want to do the spinc loop at Glendalough. But I’ll be goin on St Kevin’s Bus Services and I’ll only have 3:30 hs in the valley. It is possible to make it?
Yes, it can be done within 3 and hours but that is at a good pace so it really depends on your level of fitness for walking mountains. This route would be walking to the right of the Upper Lake, walking through the mines and up the mountain following the trail across to the other side of the lake on the sleepers (can be slippy, wear gripped hiking boots, dress warm and dry) and down through the forest on sleepers via the waterfall. Hope this is of some help Ines. Enjoy your visit
Planning a trip would be near Glendalough on may 21, 2018. We have a variety of physical stamina individuals, so are looking for a relatively easy tour and have about 2-3 hours in the mid day or early afternoon. Is there a tour that would work for us? Also is it possible to drive to the upper lake?
Hi Maureen, yes you can park up at the Upper Lake but I would check with Wicklow Country Council if you have a large bus just to be on the safe side, they operate the upper lake car park. On the website there are various guides available https://glendalough.ie/things-to-do/walking/. Alternatively you could park at the Vistor Centre at the Monastic City. They have a cinema showing on the history of Glendalough https://glendalough.ie/heritage/glendalough-visitor-centre/. Hope this is of some help and do enjoy your trip.
As well as stunning walking routes, there are also drop-in classes at the Brockagh Resource Centre near Glendalough http://www.brockaghresourcecentre.ie…..Yoga, Dance Fitness etc
what a lovely blog with beneficial tips for all of us. Thanks for your time putting this up together.Between the beautiful scenery seen around the world in photographs, and friendly Irish people, plenty of things to do, kids activities, traveling to Ireland will add a certain amount of entertainment and culture to your life. If you need tips on things to do with kids in Ireland,visit https://dublinkids.ie to find the top destinations for all the tastes and budgets. The scenery in Ireland is breath taking, from the shores of Erie to the cliffs of Moher and scenery walks in Wicklow. Not only can you experience these cliffs by just looking, but you can bike or walk on path ways wide enough and will get you the full experience and the sense of heights and real beauty of Irish nature.
I wish every single person,who lands in Ireland for one or another reason, to have the best time ever. Have fun. Yes, Ireland is a country of craic (fun). It’s a must 😉
Happy travels, everyone 😉
Hi, as far as we are aware there is no closure of walking trails around Glendalough. The Sally Gap road from Laragh to Roundwood or Dublin has had problems with fires recently.
It’s really very difficult in this active life to listen news on TV, therefore I simply
use internet for that reason, and obtain the newest information.

Hi. Would you consider it safe for a woman to do some of the walks around Glendalough on her own? Perhaps the Glendalough to Glenmalure walk? Is that an easy walk to navigate or would you need good navigation skills?
Thanks for any advice…
In my experience and I am a local I got lost doing the walk from Glendalough to Glenmalure with a friend, it can happen if you have not got navigation skills. I have no hesitation in walking this area alone as a woman but there is always a danger in remote areas in my opinion. It is a personal choice.
Hi Eoin,
there are walks in Glendalough buggy friendly. Parking at the Visitor Centre you can walk to the Upper Lake and also the road which brings you to the right of the Upper Lake up to where the mines were. They are not tarred roads but a push chair possible. Enjoy your visit.
Is Glendalough far from Dublin? I have a walking holiday starting in Dublin next year and since reading your post I would be very interested in visiting that part of Wiclow. I am travelling over from Germany and will have transport. thanks.
Hi Anton, it is a beautiful part of Ireland steeped in history and is not far from Dublin. You can take the M50 route or go via Blessington, Hollywood which will take you over the mountains down into Glendalough. Here is the main route – via M50 and R755 it takes 1 h 16 min (68.4 km). Many people from Dublin come to Glendalough as a day trip. There are plenty of places to stay if you wanted to spend longer in the area https://glendalough.ie/accommodation/. I hope you really enjoy your holiday in Ireland.
Hi Mary and Richard, if you look at the following link there is a range of accommodation in the area. We do not take accommodation booking through this website. Hopefully this is some help to you…..https://glendalough.ie/accommodation/
Is there any other way to get to Glendalough from Dublin? I know the St. Kevins bus only runs twice a day and gets there at 11:50, and since I am doing the Spinc and Glenealo Valley trail I don’t think I will make it back to the bus before it leaves. I also wanted to get there earlier in the day (around 9 or 9:30) but can’t find a way to get there other than that bus. Any insight you have would be helpful, thanks!
You can get the 133 or train to Wicklow Town from Dublin and then the Local Link Bus Service runs from Wicklow Town to Laragh and return. The only other way is the taxi services. All listed under the Transport drop down menu on the Glendalough.ie website.
Our party of 4 is planning to visit Ireland March 2022 after 2 years of re-scheduling. In March 2020, we had communicated with Martin Swords to take us on a guided tour. I have emailed Mr. Swords twice in the last few weeks with no answer, so can you tell me if Mr. Swords is still taking people on tours?
Hi Donna,
I would keep trying via his email. As far as I am aware he is still operating as a tour guide in the area. If you still get no reply in January. Contact us again and we will give you contact details of another local guide.
First visit to Ireland was spring of 2016, The trip was a gift from one of my daughters. Glendalough was not on our original itinerary, However, upon the recommendation of a young couple we met at a Dublin music event, we did visit that enchanting place.
Ireland and Glendalough share a special spot in my heart and mind. I think of them often. Hope to return one of these days soon.

What unique challenges or features does this 12km trail present for individuals with different physical abilities or preferences, such as visually impaired hikers?
2. Forest Roads and Tracks: How has the integration of forest roads and tracks into the Avonmore Way impacted the environmental preservation efforts in the Wicklow Mountains region?
3. Trailhead Signage and Navigation: Considering the diverse user group of the Avonmore Way trail, how effective is the current trailhead signage system in guiding visitors to their desired starting points at Trooperstown Forest Carpark or Stump of the Castle Forest Entrance?
4. Local Economy Impact: How has the development and growth of the Avonmore Way influenced the local businesses and communities surrounding the Wicklow Mountains region?
5. Eastern Greenway Vision: If the long-term vision for the Avonmore Way becomes a reality, creating an ‘Eastern Greenway’ connecting Kilmacanogue to Woodenbridge, how might this impact existing tourism infrastructure in the area?

Thank you for your comment. I will check that out.
HI, can you tell me which walks are buggy friendly? Thanks
Hi Eoin,
there are walks in Glendalough buggy friendly. Parking at the Visitor Centre you can walk to the Upper Lake and also the road which brings you to the right of the Upper Lake up to where the mines were. They are not tarred roads but a push chair possible. Enjoy your visit.

Is Glendalough far from Dublin? I have a walking holiday starting in Dublin next year and since reading your post I would be very interested in visiting that part of Wiclow. I am travelling over from Germany and will have transport. thanks.
Hi Anton, it is a beautiful part of Ireland steeped in history and is not far from Dublin. You can take the M50 route or go via Blessington, Hollywood which will take you over the mountains down into Glendalough. Here is the main route – via M50 and R755 it takes 1 h 16 min (68.4 km). Many people from Dublin come to Glendalough as a day trip. There are plenty of places to stay if you wanted to spend longer in the area https://glendalough.ie/accommodation/. I hope you really enjoy your holiday in Ireland.

Richard & Mary Curtin require a place to stay from Friday 13th March to 17th March to pray and meditate. Can you help with this enquiry?
Hi Mary and Richard, if you look at the following link there is a range of accommodation in the area. We do not take accommodation booking through this website. Hopefully this is some help to you…..https://glendalough.ie/accommodation/
Is there any other way to get to Glendalough from Dublin? I know the St. Kevins bus only runs twice a day and gets there at 11:50, and since I am doing the Spinc and Glenealo Valley trail I don’t think I will make it back to the bus before it leaves. I also wanted to get there earlier in the day (around 9 or 9:30) but can’t find a way to get there other than that bus. Any insight you have would be helpful, thanks!
You can get the 133 or train to Wicklow Town from Dublin and then the Local Link Bus Service runs from Wicklow Town to Laragh and return. The only other way is the taxi services. All listed under the Transport drop down menu on the Glendalough.ie website.

Our party of 4 is planning to visit Ireland March 2022 after 2 years of re-scheduling. In March 2020, we had communicated with Martin Swords to take us on a guided tour. I have emailed Mr. Swords twice in the last few weeks with no answer, so can you tell me if Mr. Swords is still taking people on tours?
Hi Donna,
I would keep trying via his email. As far as I am aware he is still operating as a tour guide in the area. If you still get no reply in January. Contact us again and we will give you contact details of another local guide.
First visit to Ireland was spring of 2016, The trip was a gift from one of my daughters. Glendalough was not on our original itinerary, However, upon the recommendation of a young couple we met at a Dublin music event, we did visit that enchanting place.
Ireland and Glendalough share a special spot in my heart and mind. I think of them often. Hope to return one of these days soon.

The National park at Glendalough does not allow camping. The nearest offical campsite is Roundwood or Rathdrum, Hidden Valley.
