Glen of Jealousy

Nestling in the Glenade Valley (from the Irish “Glen of Jealousy”), Glenade Lake sits amid spectacular scenery, within sight of the towering peaks of the Dartry range of mountains.
Glenade Valley is seen as one of the finest examples of a glacial valley in Europe and in Pol na mBear, a cave in the valley, remains of Ireland’s last brown bears were discovered in 1997. DNA results on the bones have indicated that these bears were the maternal ancestors of the modern polar bear.
