The Journey
Hill of Tara
Ascend the Hill of Tara, an ancient ceremonial site and former seat of the High Kings of Ireland, steeped in myth and legend. Stand upon the Lia Fáil (Stone of Destiny), imagine the roars of approval for newly crowned kings, and explore the Neolithic burial mounds that whisper tales of Ireland's distant past. As a political and spiritual centre for centuries, Tara embodies Irish sovereignty and cultural identity, offering panoramic views and a tangible connection to the island's rich heritage. This mystical landscape promises an unforgettable journey into Ireland's heart and soul. Note: travel time from your hotel is included in the time spent on this attraction.
Bective Abbey
Step back in time at Bective Abbey, a stunningly preserved Cistercian monastery nestled near the River Boyne in County Meath. Founded in 1147, this historical gem showcases a blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles, featuring intricately carved cloisters and imposing fortified walls. Wander through the atmospheric ruins of this once-powerful religious and economic centre, dissolved during the 16th-century Dissolution of the Monasteries. Experience the abbey’s haunting beauty, immortalized as a filming location in Braveheart, and uncover the secrets of monastic life in medieval Ireland.
Trim Castle
Discover the sheer scale and power of Trim Castle, the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland. Built in the late 12th century by Hugh de Lacy, this imposing fortress served as a strategic military and administrative hub. Marvel at the massive three-story keep with its unique cruciform design, surrounded by formidable curtain walls and defensive towers. Embark on a guided tour to delve into the castle's history and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Like Bective Abbey, Trim Castle played a role in the film 'Braveheart'. Experience the grandeur and significance of this iconic landmark, a testament to Norman influence in Ireland.
Hill of Slane
Visit the Hill of Slane, a site of profound historical and spiritual importance. It was here, according to tradition, that Saint Patrick boldly lit the Paschal Fire in 433 AD, challenging the pagan High King at Tara and symbolizing the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Absorb the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and explore the ruins of a 16th-century Franciscan friary and an earlier church. Its blend of pagan and Christian traditions makes it a powerful symbol of Ireland's cultural transformation, and its tranquil atmosphere invites reflection and exploration. Note: travel time back to your hotel is included in the time spent on this attraction.
