For over eight decades St. Kevin's Bus Service, a 100% Irish, family-run business, has been spiriting visitors the 30miles from Dublin to the Co. Wicklow village of
Glendalough.
Named after, and inspired by, Glendalough’s
St. Kevin, the modern coach tour follows a picture postcard route to the 6th Century site where the Saint established a Christian settlement.
Stunning scenery unfolds as you head south along the coast to
Bray, then inland and upward through the
Great and
Little Sugar Loaf mountains. Yet more mountains, lakes and heather-clad plains dip in and out of view as you wend your way to
Roundwood – said to be Ireland’s highest village – and past
Annamoe Valley and the village of
Laragh where fantastic views of Glendalough and its 33m
Round Tower are revealed.
Once at Glendalough, take time to explore the seven churches of St. Kevin - where a
Monastic settlement was founded - and the shores of the village’s two enchanting
lakes from which Glendalough gets its name.
