Glendalough car parks
At weekends and in summer, parking is Glendalough's problem. There are three car parks: the free one in Laragh, next to the old weavers' mills, 3 km through the forest from the Upper Lake; the visitor centre one, paid (from 8:00 to 20:00), 20 minutes' walk from the lake and with a free ticket to the centre; and the Upper Lake one, paid, at the end of the road, which fills up early and causes queues. Do not park on the double yellow lines.
