If you know me, you will also know that I'm majorly into ancient culture. (Anthropolgy, for all the experts). So, when the Wild Wikclow Tour suggested that there was an ancient monastic city that holds a lot of history, I was excited. It was little consolaiton for someone who didnt get a ticket to the Newgrange tour.
When I got there, I was in for a big disappointment. The tour ofcourse was just an exagerated advertisment. The so called 'monastic city' was a just a tower with no entrance, a few crumbled walls scattered around it and a fairly new cemetery. (The graves were as new as 1980).
True, the place is scenic, but, it is teeming with picnicers, tourists and tour buses. The beauty of the surroundings was the only saving grace for this trip.
