More Spectacular Reasons to Visit Ireland

Lough Tay

Lough Tay in Wicklow National Park is the setting for the History Channel series, “The Vikings.” It’s been the site of many films, including “P.S. I Love You” as well.

Fairies live here, or at least it’s easy to imagine they do.

Newgrange

You can visit Newgrange – a prehistoric monument in County Meath that was built during the Neolithic period around 3000 BC to 2500 BC. That means it’s older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids! During a tour, go inside the chamber and feel as if you’re part of ancient Ireland.

Skellig Michael

Rising abruptly out of the Atlantic Ocean, six miles off the southwest coast of Ireland, getting here requires a rather rocky boat trip, but your reward is a craggy, windswept island with stone steps reaching to a cluster of beehive-shaped stone huts that date back to the sixth century.
