Top 3 Historic Landmarks Chapter 24
Newgrange, Co. Meath
Prehistoric temple with monuments, such as a mound and chambers, plus an interpretive visitor centre. Constructed in around 3,200 BC during the Neolithic period. It was a place of astrological, spiritual, religious and ceremonial importance, much as present day cathedrals are places of prestige and worship where dignitaries may be laid to rest.
The Hill Of Tara, Co. Meath
It is claimed that 142 High Kings reigned in the name of Tara, here the most powerful of Irish Kings held their great inaugural feasts and were approved by Earth Mother Goddess Maeve. In ancient Irish religion and mythology, Tara was revered as a dwelling of the gods and an entrance place to the otherworld of eternal joy and plenty where no mortal ever grew old. On a clear day it is claimed that from Tara it is possible to see half the counties of Ireland.
The Rock Of Cashel, Co. Tipperary
Also known as Cashel of the Kings and St. Patrick’s Rock. It once laid home to the High King Of Munster before it was gifted to the church. The complex has a character of its own, unique and native, and is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in Europe.
Jaw Dropping – Breathtaking Sights
By now you know Ireland is more than ‘green’. It is full of spectacular sights so I won’t try to make a list of the best, I’ll name some of the best sights that you can see during your visit. But do not forget some amazing sights go unnoticed as they are during your travel. The weather conditions play a factor in how beautiful a sight can be…
The Cliffs Of Moher
On a good day or night these cliffs will take your breath away for 2 reasons: the sheer beauty, or, the worry of falling off the edge…
The Dingle Peninsula
There is something a great view turning into a breathtaking one when it includes water…
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge
If the view doesn’t make you feel alive, the rope bridge will (although it is safe). This view combines adventure with beauty.
Giant’s Causeway
Of course this miraculous landmark will take your breath away in person. Incredible to think it was made naturally.
Newgrange
If you are lucky enough to see the winter solstice hit, it is an epic sight. But regardless, it is majestic.
Hook Head Lighthouse
Up the 115 steps to the top, there is a beautiful panoramic view awaiting you. Perfect for you honeymooners.
Some more of the best sights to see include Connemara, The Ring Of Kerry and The Wild Atlantic Way.
