It features a large central mound surrounded by 18 smaller satellite mounds. The main mound contains two passage tombs adorned with intricate megalithic art, including spirals, circles, and other symbolic carvings. These engravings make Knowth a key site for studying ancient European art and culture. Excavations have revealed evidence of continuous use, reflecting its significance through history. Today, it remains a vital link to Ireland’s ancient past.
Hill of Slane
  • 1h
Located in County Meath, this is a site of profound historical and spiritual significance. According to legend, it was here that St. Patrick lit the Paschal Fire in 433 AD, defying the pagan king at Tara and marking the dawn of Christianity in Ireland. The hill features the ruins of a Franciscan monastery and a 16th-century church, offering a glimpse into Ireland’s rich ecclesiastical past. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Boyne Valley from its summit. The Hill of Slane is a must-visit destination, blending history, legend, and natural beauty in one remarkable setting.
Monasterboice Monastic Site
  • 1h
Located in County Louth, this is an early Christian monastic site founded in the late 5th century by St. Buithe, a disciple of St. Patrick. The site thrived as a center of religion and learning until the establishment of nearby Mellifont Abbey in 1142. Monasterboice is renowned for its impressive high crosses, including Muiredach’s High Cross, considered one of the finest examples of Celtic stone carving in Ireland. The site also features a round tower, which once served as a refuge during Viking raids. Today, Monasterboice stands as an important archaeological and historical monument, attracting many visitors.
Trim Castle
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
This is the largest Anglo-Norman castle in the country. Built in the late 12th century by Hugh de Lacy and his son Walter, it served as a strategic military and administrative centre. The massive three-story keep, with its unique cruciform shape, dominates the landscape and reflects the power of the Norman invaders. Surrounded by extensive curtain walls and defensive towers, the castle was a symbol of control over the region. Today, Trim Castle is a popular heritage site, offering guided tours and scenic views. It also featured prominently in the film Braveheart. Note: travel time back to your hotel is included in the time spent on this attraction.
