The Hill of Tara evokes such profound sensations of reverence! The wide open rolling fields, the mysterious mounds (well-identified), the sense of history and destiny! This was, for millenia, the place where the ancient dwellers of Ireland celebrated festivals, crowned kings, gathered for all important events. I felt immersed in the sacredness of the place. You can engage a guide... More

When I heard of this place, I was fascinated and looking forward to see it. reality was a bit disappointing. the only positive in this place was the stunning views. other then that it is really missing some more explanation on what the place is and what exactly you are watching. More

I love the Hill of Tara...nice place to relax let the kids run around, have an ice cream, soak up the sun (if its out). I went back to the little gift shop a year after my first trip in hopes to find my teapot i spotted last year and there it was! Nice memories made on the Hill! More

The Tara audio tour from IngeniousIreland.ie made such a difference in my experience of the Hill of Tara!

It's an okay visit. There might be a historical significance to this place but I certainly wouldn't be rushing back.... More

Worth a trip to the Hill of Tara. The views are amazing and it's free to enter the site. There is a visitor centre but its only open from May to Sept. There is some work going on to preserve part of the site at the moment. It would be nice to see some signs up giving a bit more... More

Truly disappoint the Hill of Tara was nothing of what I was expecting. Everything locked and covered gave the impression of being abandoned... It was really sad that for someone like us that drove from Portugal with The Hill of Tara as one of the highlights of the trip, ended up watching a field of grass with children and dogs... More

there is not much here. It was interesting only in that it was such a sacred place and built up so much for thousands of years, not too mention the view from the hill. I would not want to go in high tourist season just because there is no where to really park!!! It might be better with the visitor... More
