Glendalough and St Kevin's Church and Graveyard, Co Wicklow:

 The average temperature in Roundwood in March is 10 degrees celsius - but not in 2018 when the mean temperature was 0°C. We stayed in Casey's 'Glendalough Hotel' on Saturday 17th March, were snowed in and had to stay an extra night, but got the benefit of a deserted St Kevin's Graveyard on Sunday 18th.

The following day, Monday 19th March, the snow stopped and the sun came out, the roads were cleared and we headed for home, after another visit to St Kevin's.

GRAY ABBEY, BANGOR, CO DOWN

Grey Abbey is one of the best example of Anglo-Norman Cistercian architecture in Ulster. It was founded in 1193 and dissolved in 1541 but was reused as a parish church between the early 17th century and late 18th century. The ruins consist of the church with cloister and surrounding buildings dating from c. 1193 to c. 1250,  and there is a fascinating old graveyard beside the ancient Abbey ruins.
