By car
One convenient way of reaching Glendalough is by car. Travellers from Dublin should take the N11 in the direction of Wexford & take the R755 turn-off at Kilmacanogue. From Kilmacanogue follow signposts to Glendalough through Roundwood & Laragh.
Drivers should be aware that in the busy summer period car parking places may be hard to come-by due to the large amount of visitors. This is particularly true on Sunday & the August bank holiday Monday.
