In Glendalough, Ireland there is a gorgeous area with an old cemetery with a remarkably well preserved "ring tower" and the ruins of an old church, and the priest's residence. Actually, as we walked along amidst the gravestones, we noticed that many of the stones were of recent vintage, but marked by mold from the damp climate that Ireland is so famous for. Fortunately, nature was kind to us and we saw very little rain during our travels.
