Explore Ireland’s heritage on the Wild Atlantic Way 🌊

Beneath the wild boglands of North Mayo lies a system of fields, dwelling areas and megalithic tombs which together make up the most extensive Stone Age monument in the world. This is Céide Fields

The stone-walled fields, extending over hundreds of hectares, are the oldest known globally, dating back almost 6,000 years. They are covered by a natural blanket bog with its own unique vegetation and wildlife.

The award-winning visitor centre is set against some of the most dramatic rock formations in Ireland. A viewing platform on the edge of the 110-metre-high cliff will help you make the most of the breathtaking scenery.

Come prepared with protective clothing and sturdy footwear, though. The terrain – and the weather - can be challenging.

Keeping the spooky vibe going this evening with another large abandoned home I discovered in Co.Limerick, the only plus with the stormy weather is amazing skies 👌 the front door hasn't been opened here in many a year 👀 it's claimed the spirit of a girl who was run over by a carriage on the grounds of the house has been seen desperately tugging at the front door.
