Near the small village of Avoca we came across more ruins. (Photos follow.). No name was posted but after some research we found this church (now in ruins) was built in 1817 using stones from a castle originally erected in the 14th century. This was the church for the Parish of
Castlemacadam.
More ruins, these one more of a tourist attraction as they are located In the town of Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains National Park. Here we saw the best intact roundtower in Ireland. It is surrounded by rolling hills amid a deep forest and with the mist it truly felt like a mystical place. I especially like the Celtic Crosses that you find in the graveyards.
