Lovely, I fell in the stream just up from the Youth Hostel at nearby Glenmalure one summer, got wet to my waist! Thankfully it wasn't deep. It is beautiful though. <br /><br />I hope you have less eventful time. :) I'd seriously recommend lunch at the Avoca mills in Kilmacanouge if you are that way. It's my favourite place in the whole world to eat. :)<br /><br />Have a lovely time. :) Glendalough!
