Glendalough valley was carved out by glaciers during the Ice Age, which formed the two lakes from which Glendalough – “glen of two lakes” - gets its name. Spring fed waters, oak lined banks and the Wicklow Mountains, with 750m, 1.5k, and 3.9k (Sunday) distances to choose from, the Glendalough Swim has something for everyone. 6/7 Sept.
