Once the seat of the High Kings of Ireland, it served as a political and spiritual centre for centuries. The hill features archaeological remains such as the Lia Fáil (Stone of Destiny), believed to roar when touched by a true king. Other monuments include burial mounds and ring forts dating back to the Neolithic period. Tara holds deep cultural significance, symbolizing Irish sovereignty and identity, and continues to draw visitors interested in its rich heritage and mystical past.Note: travel time from your hotel is included in the time spent on this attraction.

Bective Abbey

Located near the River Boyne in County Meath, this is a striking example of medieval monastic architecture. Founded in 1147 by the Cistercian order, it was the second Cistercian abbey established in Ireland. The site features a combination of Romanesque and Gothic styles, with well-preserved cloisters, stone carvings, and fortified walls. Once a powerful religious and economic centre, Bective Abbey was dissolved during the 16th-century Dissolution of the Monasteries. Today, its atmospheric ruins offer a glimpse into monastic life and Irish history. The abbey’s haunting beauty also made it a filming location for the movie Braveheart.

Trim Castle

This is the largest Anglo-Norman castle in the country. Built in the late 12th century by Hugh de Lacy and his son Walter, it served as a strategic military and administrative centre. The massive three-story keep, with its unique cruciform shape, dominates the landscape and reflects the power of the Norman invaders. Surrounded by extensive curtain walls and defensive towers, the castle was a symbol of control over the region. Today, Trim Castle is a popular heritage site, offering guided tours and scenic views. It also featured prominently in the film Braveheart.

Hill of Slane

This is a site of great historical and spiritual significance. According to tradition, it was here that Saint Patrick lit the Paschal Fire in 433 AD in defiance of the pagan High King at nearby Tara, symbolising the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. The hill offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and contains the ruins of a 16th-century Franciscan friary and an earlier church. Its ancient history, tied to both pagan and Christian traditions, makes it a powerful symbol of Ireland’s cultural transformation and a peaceful place for reflection and exploration.Note: travel time back to your hotel is included in the time spent on this attraction.
