- Glendalough (Gleann Dá Loch), meaning 'The Valley of the Two Lakes' is a glacial valley in County Wicklow, Ireland, renowned for an Early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin. Situated in the Wicklow Mountains National Park and boasting some of Ireland's best mountain scenery with its deep moody lakes, rushing rivers and tumbling waterfalls, the Glendalough Valley is among the country's top tourist attractions offering incredible walking opportunities. From the 6th century monastic ruins with their iconic round tower near the Lower Lake, to the C19th lead mines at the 'Miners' Village' at the far end of the Upper Lake, Glendalough is a landscape replete with history and heritage. Autumn is one of the finest times to visit as the deciduous trees and bracken turn rich shades of russet, orange and yellow, and the deer rut (mating season) is at its height.
Our circular route took us from the monastic site skirting the western side of the Lower Lake, past the shore of the Upper Lake and along the Miners' Road towards the zig-zag track up to Van Diemen's Land and the Glenealo Valley. From here we followed the boardwalk along the Spinc and the descent to the Poulanass Waterfall, before passing the eastern side of the Lower Lake along another boardwalk back to the monastic site.
Music tracks in this film are:
Alexi Murdoch: Song For You
Nick Drake: Northern Sky
John Butler Trio: Young and Wild
This is the sadest video ever for me ,,I no longer can explore this amazing 0lace due to illness.prayers and good wishes to everyone that treks this buetiful place.
Stunning
+peter otoole Thanks!
Amazing Glendalough. We love this place ❤ Very good movie.
Thanks, we like Glendalough too, but it can get a bit busy at times
Just perfect really. Even the deer wanted to get in on the act!
+Adrian McGlynn Thanks, Adrian. It was great to be able to get up so close to the deer. They seem to lose their inhibitions during the rut!
I walked this exact route in September of 1993. This brings back such wonderful memories. Beautiful.
Alfred Ahearn Glad that your video brought back some nice memories. Martin and Sharron
Beautiful place Glendalough, my Dad's family are from there
Glendalough is a fantastic place
Fantastic movie.One of the best i ever watched on youtube. I spent in june three days in the Wicklow Mountains and i can say they are spectacular.
+PATRICK ŻERKOWSKI Thanks for your generous comment. The Wicklow Mountains are on our doorstep (we live in Wicklow Town) but we hadn't really shot much film here! Glad you liked the result. We kept having to dodge the Vikings film crew!!
martin critchley I visited Lough Tay ( the guinness lake ) but the Vikings film crew was
not there.
They were there back in July with a whole village built on the shore, long boats and all! We saw them filming at the Miners' Village in Glendalough - actors running round with huge swords, clad in helmets fighting each other!! It wasn't so funny though when we were refused entrance to the Miners' Road the first day we went up, as they were filming and we had to go back home!
It's so beautiful. I'm thankful to God for such beautiful landscapes in Ireland. You showed His glory by your camera to us. Thank you so much.
Thank you. This video is helping me finish a song I started writing in Glendalough 35 years ago.
I LOVE GLENDALOUGH FOREVER IN MY HEART; BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES INSHALLAH MORE TO COME
💜💜💜❤❤❤💛💛💛
Sharron/Martin, a stunning glimpse into the Wicklow Mountains. Loved the time lapses of the lough and the super smooth tracking shots. Beautiful light in the forest and later in the day before it clouded over. Some absolutely super shots of the flora and wildlife. Brilliant stuff :-)
+gerry mcveigh Thanks, Gerry. Filming in this part of the Wicklow Mountains in particular is tricky, for besides trying to dodge the Vikings film crew and hordes of noisy school parties, the proximity to Dublin and the fact that Glendalough is well served by Paddy Wagons, means there are always lots of visitors and walkers. Doing time lapse is a very lengthy process and people are apt to blunder into frame, or chuck stones into mirror flat lakes, which can render the whole sequence totally worthless! Patience and luck are therefore required in spadefuls!
Love the music. One of my ancestors is buried there. It’s great to watch this now when we can’t travel. Such a beautiful place.
Thank you so much. We spent a lot of time here surveying the mining archaeology when we lived in Wicklow and it is one our favourite places in the county.
Absolutely stunning. Beautifully filmed.
+Mick Crowley Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Glendalough is a pretty special place.
I stood there and was just wondering that amazing place. I was paralyzed while watching the tower of Glendalough. Folks this is a place to go! Ireland is the place to go! Greetings to Coláiste Chraobh Abhann. From Würzburg
Tobias Jodl thanks for kind comments. Glendalough is certainly an enchanting place
Such a beautifully captured video with no artificially added colors and saturation and highlights! So natural !!! And great music as well!!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful
Thanks, Amos. Glendalough is beautiful at any time of the year, but the autumn colours are incredible.

Glendalough is one of the most peaceful places I've ever visited.

Thanks, much appreciated. Glendalough is fantastic if you can get away from the crowds!
Recently started watching your hiking videos, just stunning. I spent some time in Europe and Asia but these make me crave going back to nature. Amazing journey and beautifully captured, thank you!

How lovely. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. Glad you liked the film. Glendalough is great at any time of the year :-)
This looks like some paintings I've done! Hope to actually visit some of these beautiful places one day. Maybe when I win the lottery or something. ;)
Very beautiful film spent many happy summers hiking around
Glendalough
Also my honeymoon there in the Seventies🌟🌟🌟
Glendalough is a great place - even when it is raining!
Thank you so true 🍀🍀🍀🍀
Sacred Glendalogh- Irelands own Holy "Black Hills of Dakota"- The Vibration here is so Powerful..Beautiful, Healing, Blessed Valley 💚💝☘☘🙏
Wow, what a stunning video. Glendalough is very close to our hearts and you have captured it so beautifully. Love love love it!!
+Lazy Days VW Camper HIre Ireland Thanks and glad you enjoyed the film! Glendalough is indeed a very special place and we greatly enjoyed filming it at one of our favourite times of year.
Love these films..amazing photography, beautiful sweet music.
Many thanks!
Thank you so very much, You made my day. Was in Wicklow in 2016 , heaven on earth, I miss it dreadfully but you brought me back for an exquisite visit again.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful! Wish I could visit the place someday. Thanks for this video at least I was able to see a part of Ireland!
Thanks for this terrific video. It brings back wonderful memories - Glendalough is one of my favorite places in Ireland.
Thanks for the comment. Yes Glendalough is very nice, but can be a bit crowed at times. Martin and Sharron
Wonderful video, Ireland is beautyful.
Thanks very much
Amazing! Looking forward to doing the Wicklow Way walk soon.
Seosamh Pulvirenti hope you enjoy the Wicklow way
As a film maker, Glendalough is paradise on Earth :)
We very much enjoy Glendalough but it can get a bit crowded in the summer.
What an amazing beautiful place Martin, which you capture so well once more. Brilliant! Loved the Raven and those ducks stayed where you wanted them. Very cooperative. Maaan nature seems to abound there..a place to immerse oneself in for sure. What a film - an inspiration in content and quality. Wonderful to see you both. ATB mark.
+WyeExplorer, Glendalough is a really beautiful part of the Wicklow Mountains, close to where we live. We've spent many hours up there researching and surveying the extant lead mining remains and got to truly appreciate and love the place. There is a lot of nature round there as you say, but to experience the sika deer up that close is exceptional, as they are usually very skittish and run away before you get chance to film them. In the rutting season they seem to lose their inhibitions. It is rather awe inspiring to hear the bellowing of the bucks echoing round the valley. Glad you liked the film and thanks for your kind remarks.
martin critchley A pleasure Martin. Truly good work mate. You do the animals proud even as well as the former miners. All the best. Mark.
Absolutely beautiful video of a wonderful place. We were there two months ago. I love your work.
+Lenka Vozobulova Thanks you for your kind remarks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Visited here years ago best thing i ever did in my life
Lovely film...great location! Steve
Cheers, Stephen. We used to live in Co. Wicklow before we moved to Co. Donegal, and Glendalough was one of our favourite locations.
It’s sad that Irish woodland are so scarce and rare. Ireland used to be covered in Beautiful wild forests rich with wildlife
Thanks. Ireland has one of the lowest woodland cover (by % area) in the EU
And we all know what happened to them.
Compliments, this is very well done. 😊👍
Thanks, much appreciated. Sharron and Martin
So beautiful,exotic,unknown landscape for me,as a bulgarian.I like this combination of grass,rocks, moisture and clouds(cuz we are knocked out of 40up°C summer this year,it looks so cool).Its typical for north-west part of european islands,I suppose.Thanks for posting.
Glad you like it!
Wow! Exceptionally good. Waiting sooooo much for our trip there on July!
+Antti Nieminen Thanks, I'm sure you will enjoy it. Glendalough, especially by the lakes, can get a bit busy during the weekends in the summer. If you have a choice then we would recommend a weekday. Martin and Sharron
Hi guys! We'll arrive to Riverhouse B&B on sunday evening, so that's perfect :)
+Antti Nieminen Don't forget to pack insect repellent - the midges are pretty dire in summer. We call them 'teeth with wings'!
We're from Finland so we are more than familiar with those blood thirsty bastards ;)
Very good photographed !!
lotta engelke thanks

Hi Martin - Stunning footage of Glendalough in Autumn. Thank you. How might I contact you about using some fo this footage in a private tribute film for a dear friend who has died?
Nick Drake’s music always makes me feel so sad......
I get melancholic too when I listen to nick drake
Heaven on earth 🌎
Bonus points for using Nick Drake
so unspeakably beautiful
Ruby, glad that you liked our video. The feather is from a pheasant, a bird which is quite common across the farmlands of Ireland.
how could i not? hehe..
ah, interesting, very lovely feathers, i might draw one ^.^
❤
Thanks for the like
Does anyone know best way to get here from southeast via public transport and costs , from enniscorthy , training since 2020 , been up mount Leinster multiple times and want to do bigger goals up Wicklow way , not much on internet , would like to know if public or private buses trains go up near enough to any of the walkways and costs for day out , and hopefully clock multiple k , have done 20 k so far In one trek
What camera you used for shooting this video
Timelapses were taken using a Pentax K1 full frame DSLR and the video sequences a Panasonic FZ1000
I've been there a lots of times. Great place but full of people during good weather weekends. I'd rather go there in semi weather permitting day. Lakes not so long time ago were inhabited by arctic charr - remnant species of glacial age
Beautiful photography, but next time skip the frequent intrusion of the hikers -- especially the 'boot in the face' shots -- nature is the star!
We take time to film these walks primarily as a record of our journey through the Irish countryside. We put them on You Tube to share with other hillwalkers. Sorry the 'boot in the face' shots aren't to your liking!!!!
twas nice til the music began...........nice musicbut nature better
No voy a abonar absolutamente nada por este servicio que se me está ofreciendo en forma gratuita. Muy amables, pero tengo entendido que es demasiado caro para. Este mes por fin termino de abonar este celular con mucho esfuerzo. Los saludo atte.
What on earth are you on about? No one is trying to sell you anything!!!!
8/10 sorry, but lost of 2 points as you don't go to Glendalough n not show the bloody waterfall n pay more attention to the graveyard and tower
No need for the songs - let us hear the sounds of nature esp the water .
Make your own video then!
