Kilkenny, Ireland (St. Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny Castle, Live Pub Music)
Kilkenny, Ireland has a medieval history, starting with the Early Gothic St. Canice's Cathedral, which was built in the 13th century, although it's been a religious site since the 6th century. Inside, you will find several tombs that are over 500 years old. Kilkenny Castle was originally built in the 12th century as part of the defense of the town. It was the principal Irish residence of the powerful Butler family for almost 600 years. We took a self-guided tour inside. Finally, we stopped at historic Kyteler's Inn for dinner. We listened to some great traditional Irish music and my 18 year-old niece (the legal drinking age in Ireland is 18) had her first alcoholic drink ever! (yeah, right)

Irlande - Episode 3 - Glendalough #1
3ème journée en Irlande, première journée à Glendalough, petit village dans les Wicklow mountains.
Balade du jour : Spinc and Glenealo Valley (moi je l'ai faite dans l'autre sens que ce qui est décrit plus bas).
Distance : 9km
Montée : 380m
This popular walk leads you through some of the most spectacular scenery in Co Wicklow. (The name Spinc comes from the Irish 'An Spinc' and means 'pointed hill'). The trail ascends steeply up by the Poulanass Waterfall before joining a boardwalk. More than 600 wooden steps lead you to a viewing point overlooking the Upper Lake. The boardwalk skirts the top of the cliffs before descending through blanket bol and heath into the picturesque Glenealo Valley, home to a large herd of deer. A rough track then leads down into Glendalough Valley.

Glendalough visitor centre
The visitor centre brings visitors back in time to the golden age of Irish History: the Ireland of Scholars and Saints. Follow the footsteps of St. Kevin, founder of Glendalough. The audio-visual show is available in many languages as well as guided tours of the permanent exhibition.
The visitor centre is open daily throughout the year and is a must before entering the Monastic Site.
Visitor Centre is fully accessible for visitors with disabilities. Access to the graveyard is very difficult for wheelchair users.
The Education Centre provides a range of courses and tours for schoolchildren, students and other groups. These are related to nature conservation and the ecology of the National Park. The centre is accessible for people with disabilities.
Glendalough is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Wicklow and indeed all of Ireland. It is unsurprising given the stunning landscape, historic ruins and beautiful walks on offer at this unique location.
Glendalough (or Gleann Da Loch, meaning ‘The Glen of the Two Lakes’) is situated in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains National Park, which has over one million visitors every year.
The ancient monastery on the site is a fascinating site, having been founded in the 6th century by St. Kevin. Set in a glaciated valley with two lakes, the monastic remains include a superb round tower, stone churches and decorated crosses. The round tower is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the area. The site also includes a Celtic high cross, St. Mary’s Church and St. Kevin’s Church. The remains of three stone crosses and a stone fort are also to be found between the upper and lower lakes.
