DONARD

Donard is a pretty village at the northern end of Glen of Imaal. The place is associated with Michael Dwyer, the cottage in which he fought the encircling British troops in 1799 and escaped over the snow-covered mountains is situated here. To get a good view of the Glen, travel to the Donard-Davidstown road, but be careful if walking as much or the Glen (5948 acres) has been used as an army artillery range since 1900.
