Newgrange Travel Blog › entry 5 of 14 › view all entries

I'm going to ireland by boat about 3 weeks. On our way to ireland we'll ride trough England, and make a few stops there. Ireland is a free visit, we'll see where we end up.
A little prehistorical Magic.
Newgrange is one of Ireland most faous sites. So do keep in mind to go early, That way you can go around our waiting time of 3 hours. The visitors centre is nice, but not the reason to visit this prehistorical building. From the centre you'll go by bus to newgrange and/or the other site, of which I lost the name. There you´ll get an english tour. Newgrange has the sun falling in exactly one time a year. Just like the abu simbel temple in Egypt. As the place is very small(inside) and narrow not many see this. However they fake it with electic light, not the same, but very well done. The outside is mostly like an oversized hobbit hole. A green mountain but with a white stone wall that is 90 degrees with the ground. This building was build before the pyramids of Gizeh, and still decorated at some places. Don't visit if you're claustrofobic. Nice with kids.
