Dwyer McAllister Cottage

About
If you take a day-trip to Glendalough, it is worth taking in this fine example of a traditional thatched cottage. Built with local stone and whitewashed inside and out, this is the image of Ireland most popular with postcard photographers. It was from this cottage in 1799 that the famed rebel Michael Dwyer fought the encircling British troops, finally making his escape over the snow-covered mountains.
