Glendalough Monastic Site & Rock of Dunamase

Do you know how Hollywood, California, got its name? Its start has its beginning right back in Co. Wicklow, Ireland.

The Wicklow Gap is one of only two passes through the spectacular Wicklow mountains and, nestled in heart of it, is a lovely little village called Hollywood.

There are two theories on how it got its name. One theory points to the lush holly trees widespread in the area. Another suggests it was originally Holy Wood after St Kevin passed through in the 6th century on his way to found the monastic city in nearby Glendalough.

The Rock of Dunamase is an imposing and magnificent example of a Celtic fortification overlooking the valley of the O’Moores, just outside Portlaoise, County Laois.
Spectacular views of the surrounding countryside make the towering Rock of Dunamase a place of strategic importance.
