The round tower at Glendalough is considered by many to be one of the most finely constructed and beautiful towers in Ireland. Situated in a thickly forested valley, the 30.48 metre tall tower is built of mica schist with a granite doorway. The conical roof was rebuilt in 1876 using the original stones that were found inside the tower. The round tower is divided internally into 6 storeys by timber floors, connected by ladders. The four storeys above entrance level are each lit by a small window; while the top story has four windows facing the cardinal compass points.
The towers were called “Cloigtheach”, meaning bell tower, suggesting their main use. The towers were sometimes used as a place of refuge for monks when the monastery was under attack. They also served as both as lookout posts and as beacons foe approaching monks and pilgrims.
Glendalough is a beautiful place to visit.
The Glendalough Valley is located in the Wicklow Mountains National Park and has many attractions to entice visitors, from its world famous Monastic Site with Round Tower to its scenic lakes and valleys, as well as a selection of walks and trails in the area including The Wicklow Way.

A small stone-built building by the side of Wheatlands Lane near Baslow. Original use not fully understood but believed to have been an ash house at a time when potash was used to improve the land.
Tidying up and ended up making one of these. I think Umamen's one has a tighter radius, but this one used only clear parts. Haven't seen this before, but tell me if I'm wrong. 1x1 flat, round clear tiles used to connect.
No belville this time , just wanted to share the technique.
This is another photo of a robin at Monrepos taken earlier this month when we had some show. He was a very cooperative photo model that morning and I just love the roundness of the robins. :)
