“The Glen of the Two Lakes” – A must in any visitor’s itinerary. This early Christian settlement, founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century, in this beautiful valley is one of the most important of such sites in Ireland. In spite of raids by the Vikings and centuries of neglect, the monastery, with its simple and austere buildings (notably the round tower and stone churches), remains in an impressive state of preservation. After you visit make your way back to Laragh and take the R115 (The Military Road).
