📜 Historic Note

The Boyne Valley contains one of Europe’s most important prehistoric landscapes. Newgrange was constructed around 3200 BC and is famous for its roof box, which allows the rising sun to illuminate its inner chamber around the winter solstice.

The Hill of Tara was an important ceremonial and political centre for centuries and is traditionally associated with the High Kings of Ireland. 👑
