👍👍 What a fantastic barge trip experience!!! Highly recommended to everyone, Beautiful scenery, birds singing, sunshine, fantastic crew and skipper, just a dream day. I would definitely go again. Thank you for a wonderful experience and hospitality 😊

Granite dolmen, an ancient burial site including a hefty capstone thought to weigh 150 tonnes.

👍👍 Words are not able to do this historical site justice. It’s beautiful. No fee to visit either.

👍👍 Donadea Castle and forest park is just 6 or 7km off the M4, and a stone's throw from Dublin. There is ample parking, however be warned it's 5 euro to park and they only take coins. The car park is basically beside the castle and cafe, and all the paths we found were buggy and wheelchair accessible....

😠 Went here today someone in my party rang ahead and booked for 5 adults 1 high chair, informed that there would be a man with dementia in our party so it’s a last minute booking. We were told he can slot us in if we arrive within 5 minutes so we did. We arrived on time driving from another town, as w...

👍👍 The Birr Castle alone would be enough to be worth a visit. But including this telescope, a jewel of science history, makes the visit a real experience: the largest telescope in the world in the 19th century. The one used to see, for the first time, the spiral nature of galaxies (by then not known to...

👍👍 Was very fortunate to see the northern lights on that rare occasion on 5th November 2023 when they came down this low. A place I’ve played in as a child and that holds such fond memories for so many. A magic night under the stars in Dan Donnollys great footsteps.

👍👍 Lovely little garden to walk around with a nice small cafe and toilets. The garden is very well looked after, more so then some of the bigger gardens I have visited. Very friendly staff. Will be back here again soon.

👍 Nice views and a short uphill walk from the road. Old cemetery. Free parking, picnic bench. No access to tower.

👍👍 Very unique place in the middle of nowhere. Go there alone to experience it

👍👍 Worth a visit. Old hawthorn trees around the perimeter, and I believe it was a healing circle. Take a visit and make your own conclusions. No cost to visit, no other people here.

👍👍 A truly amazing place among the nature

👍👍 It's a lovely spot in Kinnity, go check it if you happen to be passing by this village. Free of charge, easy to find. Just look for the church and you'll see a sign pointing to the pyramid. There also a sign of the side of the pyramid explaining its history. It's easy to access. Low mobility peopl...

👍 A nice stop for photos and a sign giving some information about Tower houses. If you walk into the field behind the Tower House you come to the river Liffey and the scenery is beautiful.
