Relatively unknown compared to the world famous Stonehenge, these monuments are more substantial and other-wordly in their presence. Built thousands of years before recorded civilization in Europe, the scale and substance simply overwhelm you. The tour consists of a bus ride and lecture about the site, then a guided walk into the center of the main New Grange monument. The... more

Definately worth the visit, during busier tourist seasons the wait to get in can be very long, so go during an off season if possible, plan on spending at least 1/2 day to a day here if you want to explore all the exhibits. The guided tour really brings it all together more

The conditions of the sites is grand and well worth the trip. Unfortunately, much of what you will learn is subjective and modern man's best guess at what is hidden behind the veil of time.

The visitor center has been extrememely well done, with a wealth of information at your fingertips. When you enter the tomb at Newgrange, you are stepping back in time. The megalithic carvings are outstanding at both Newgrange and Knowth. You come away with a sense of awe at how such a primitive civilization could achieve such wonders. more

These structures are an unbelievable feat of construction by an earlier civilization. Why is a fascinating question in itself, but the How is mind boggling!
