Visit Ireland’s most remarkable UNESCO World heritage site, Newgrange passage tomb located in the Boyne Valley County Meath. Our private Newgrange tour is not to be missed.
Newgrange (c 3,200 B.C.) pre-dating the ancient great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt by 500 years and Stonehenge by 1000. The passage tomb is surrounded by 97 kerb stones, the most impressive is the large entrance stone which is covered in swirls and designs.
Inside the large mound, the visual artistry of Ireland’s ancient civilisation remains to this day strikingly fresh and modern. At dawn on the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year (December 21st), a shaft of sunlight enters the chamber of Newgrange through a specially designed opening over the doorway which illuminates the Chamber.
