Having done this you could find yourself in County Wicklow in the Wicklow mountains. Glendalough, the glen of two lakes, the result of glaciation 200 million years ago. This monastatic settlement, founded by St. Kevin in the sixth century, consists of 7 churches with a round tower calling people to prayer. As the mist hovers, the site is borderline eerie. A shiver tells me I am in a magical yet mysterious place. There is definitely a historical energy here.

It would not be Ireland without a legend associated with Glendalough. For Glendalough the legend shrouds St. Kevin, the Patron Saint of Glendalough. Kevin of the Fair is said to have been so connected to nature that when a bird had laid an egg in his out stretched arm and he stayed like this holding the egg during the incubation period of 21 days until the egg was hatched.
