Glendalough is an ancient site in Ireland. Among its adornments are a ring fort dated to the first century A.D., one of the highest round towers in Ireland, and a plethora of ruins dating from from the mid-seventh century.
Glendalough was an early monastic center and therefore a beacon of light in the so-called "Dark Ages."
It is also a place of great beauty. I believe, although I cannot prove, that some of the scenes in the movie "Excalibur" were shot at Glendalough - like the scene where Merlin first first sees the sword emerge from the Lake.
Regardless, Glendalough is a beautiful place in Ireland. I have some slides of Glendalough from my trip to Ireland. I will try to scan them onto my computer in the very near future.
Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps pacem!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
