Tour Overview
Travel back in time to visit some of the most ancient parts of Ireland during the Celtic Boyne Valley day tour! A large portion of the tour takes place in the County Meath. This region is also known as the Royal County because this is where the High Kings of Ireland ruled the country.
Our first stop on the tour brings us to The ‘Hill of Uisneacht’ which is the spiritual center of Ireland and arguably one of our most important ancient sites. The point at which the five provinces of Ireland met and where their Kings would celebrate the ‘festival of the fires’.
Visit Loughcrew, a sacred site that holds approximately 30 passage tombs. We will enter the tomb with flashlights to see the amazing Celtic designs that were carved into the rock over 5,000 years ago!
After a beautiful drive though the Irish countryside, we will make a stop at Trim Castle which is the largest and best preserved Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland. Take a good look around since you might recognize the castle from the great fighting scenes in the movie Braveheart!
Next, we head to The Hill of Tara which is one of the most sacred sites of ancient Ireland. As the royal center of Ireland, the High Kings ruled from this hill. From this incredible vantage point, it is said you can see a quarter of Ireland's landscape. We will look out over this breathtaking view while we enjoy lunch from the top of the hill.
