If you hit these spots along with taking in the various shops in town, you'll be filled with intrigue. Don't forget to make time for mid-day tea and a stop in at a rustic pub.
After Dublin, check out The Boyne Valley, a trio of ancient temples that are older than the famed pyramids of Egypt. These temples were designed around the path of the sun. History books lay claim that this is an Atlantian site. At Newgrange, visit the grand art crafted out of stone and towering boulders. Inside the temple is an enclosure of ancient energy. If you plan a trip around Winter Solstice, mid-December, you can see the sun rise in perfect alignment with the temples, a steely beam of sunlight shoots down the middle of the temple. The temples Dowth and Knowth have their own charismatic history as well.
