Navigating The Mystique of Newgrange: Exploring Culture and Tradition
The history of Ireland is vast, fascinating and offers great insight into our history and traditions. Such qualities can be found in Newgrange, a marvel of progress from the neolithic age that is greatly important historically but also in understanding the culture of the island. It’s a must go for those wishing to discover more about what Irish culture has to offer!
5,000 Years of History
Iconic in terms of historical landmarks, Newgrange is over 5,000 years in age which surpasses the similar Stonehenge in the UK and is even older than the pyramids in Egypt! Despite its age, the allure, beauty and secrets of the tomb are still on offer for all to see.
While the most famous of them, Newgrange is not the only passage tomb in the country, in fact it’s not the only passage tomb in the local area. The tomb was named a UNESCO world heritage site in 1993 along with the nearby tombs of Knowth and Dowth. The site considered as a natural landmark, a feat of ancient engineering and key in Irish culture, as such archaeologists have been able to gain terrific insights into the history of our ancestors and learn more about ancient ways.
More Than Just a Tomb
The mystique of Newgrange is that it is so much more than just a tomb. The art that decorates the walls, the spiraling kerbstones, and the grand architecture showcase Newgrange for the natural beauty it is. The structure was carefully carved to light up on the day of the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. The light illuminates the inner chamber in a display that attracts curious researchers and travelers alike.
The experience of stepping into Newgrange is typified by the care put into its construction and the significance of it to the country. It’s an opportunity to experience the marvels that those in the past have left for us, and to form a connection with the values they held.
Newgrange has the tremendous ability to capture the soul whether it’s through its precise engineering or the symbolism of the solstice. It truly gives those that visit the opportunity to be captured by its mystique and to form a connection with the spirit of Ireland.

Over the summer we visited Clara Lara national Park and we all loved it. We had an amazing day, we arrived early and only left in the end of the afternoon as there are many attractions to do. The kids go nuts.
They have aqua shuffle, obstacle course, rope swing, zip-line, go karts, rowing boats and much more.
To book you can go to their website and I guarantee you wont regret it. Its a great place to visit during the spring and summer holidays.

Old Mill in Ruins I looked at this small round tower located just outside of Kinvara for years and never attempted to photograph it. But as the lockdown and 2km restriction continued, on one evening it all came together, the tower in the lovely evening light, the lit grass buds in the foreground and the lines guiding the viewer towards the tower. #oldmill #wildatlanticway #culturenight #failteireland #fáilteireland #discoverireland #travelinireland https://www.instagram.com/p/CFSUDFapLl2/?igshid=1a6sl7l32f3oe
