Foreword by Esther de Waal
Illustrations by Natalie Connolly
Glendalough is one of the most-visisted ancient sites in Ireland. This detailed, illustrated guide to the valley is also a book of Celtic spirituality, based on a pilgrimage journey through Glendalough.
For general visitors to Glendalough, the authors provide a very thorough guide. For those interested in a more spiritual journey, the book will help them to explore and appreciate the timeless mystery of this ancient and sacred place. The authors reveal the treasures of the rich traditions of the area, the stories of its Patron, St Kevin, and the lives, lifestyles and beliefs of its inhabitants since ancient times.
Natalie Connnolly’s drawings will help the visitor to identify the different sites, and will help the reader far away to envisage this special place.
