Itinerary
Your tour begins from the Molly Malone statue, where you will meet your guide and set out through the beautiful Boyne Valley. This is one of Ireland’s most important prehistoric areas and the surrounding landscape is dotted with ancient monuments.
Newgrange is one of Ireland’s most impressive ancient monuments in Ireland and is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the largest purpose built burial site and place of ancient worship in Ireland. The monument is built so that it is aligned with the winter solstice which was of great importance to the neolithic people in Ireland at the time. This is a cafe at the Visitor Centre for our lunch stop after the monument visit.
Mainistir Bhuithe – “ monastery of Buithe” is the 5th century monastic site founded by St Buithe. The site includes the remains of two churches built in the 14th century and a Round Tower from the 10th century, but it is most famous for its Celtic High Crosses. The round tower is about 28 metres tall, and is in very good condition. It was likely built shortly after 968 and damaged in a fire in 1098. The three high crosses date from the 10th century and form part of the scriptural group (showing biblical scenes). The 5.5-metre Muiredach's High Cross is regarded as the finest high cross in the whole of Ireland. It features Biblical Carvings from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. It is named after an abbot, Muiredach mac Domhnaill, who died in 923.
