The trail then continues around the Lower Lake and passes by the ruins of the Monastic City, which was founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century. Along the way, hikers can see the remains of a round tower, several churches, and a cathedral. The Glendalough Lake Walk is a moderate hike that is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. It is a 2.8-mile loop trail that generally takes an average of 1 h 17 min to accomplish. It is well-signposted and well-maintained, with several rest stops along the way.
