Ireland - Dublin to Cork

Traveling south out of Dublin, just past Enniskerry lies the elegant Powerscourt Estate with its gardens, deer herd and the highest waterfall in Ireland. Then we traveled on to the early Christian settlement of Glendalough set at the head of a lake in a scenic glen surrounded by the imposing Wicklow Mountains. We ate our picnic lunch and explored the extensive ruins of the 6th century Irish monastery of St Kevin. Continuing south west we took a whirlwind tour of Waterford and the Waterford Chrystal gift shop. Then we made our way through Youghal (an ancient walled seaport town that provided the location in 1954 for the harbor scenes in Moby Dick) and Cobh (the doomed Titanic’s last port of call in April 1912). Then on to the day's final destination: Cork. I know you don't think it's possible, but we didn't visit the Murphy's brewery while we were there. Pictures of the scenery are here and here.
