Tips from locals
Great for a hike and not a difficult trek, highly recommended. At the top of climb see the Megalithic Tombs steeped in history. Coffee shop open 200 m down the road from gate into hill. Open until end Oct. However Lough Crew gardens are open all year around. Separate entrance (google it) See book left at property explaining the history of the area.
The Loughcrew Cairns are a group of Neolithic passage tombs dating to 3000 BC. Stunning views of Ireland as well as these magnificent ancient tombs make this place well worth a visit.
It's a hill walk with a great view. there is metallic tomes there built 1000 BC. Sun worshipping people of the past. no entrance fee but requires a car.
Place to be at the spring equinox.. or any other time when you want to feel the energy of our ancestors.
Loughcrew or Lough Crew is an area of great historical importance near Oldcastle, County Meath, Ireland. It is home to a group of megalithic tombs dating back to the 4th millennium BC, which sit on top of a range of hills. The hills and tombs are together known as Slieve na Calliagh and are the highest point in Meath. Home of 'the hags chair'. You need to be fairly fit to climb the cairns....but it's worth it.
