Temple House
We will be spending our 7 nights in this estate manor. Two sisters per room (separate beds), with private bathroom.
Our accommodations are a privately owned country mansion and rooms are all different. However even the smallest room is larger than a typical European hotel room, and each room has its own dedicated bathroom. We will assign rooms based on first come first serve, as well as individual needs.
Temple House, a luxury Country House in County Sligo, Ireland, is a classical Georgian manor set in a private estate of over 1,000 acres, overlooking a 13th-century lakeside castle of the Knights Templar.
Newgrange & Knowth
Newgrange is the best known Irish passage tomb and dates to c.3,200BC. It is believed to be associated with the people of the Goddess Danu, a race of super-natural beings who according to tradition ruled Ireland before the coming of the Celts and afterwards retreated into the fairy mounds and forts.

We will visit the Rath (hill) as well as the Cave of the Cats, thought to be the entrance of the Underworld, where the Morrigan emerges each Samhain to lead the wild hunt.
Knocknashee
to Knocknashee, also known as the Hill of the Fairies. The legend is that the Sidhe (pronounced Shee) retreated into the mounds to another dimension, or otherworld, and left the topside world for the humans. Some believe that these mounds are portals to that otherworld, and during the periods of time around Samhain and Beltaine the veil between these worlds is thin enough for contact with this magickal ancient race of beings.

Constance was one of the leaders of the 1916 Rising, and was the first woman to be elected to Dáil Eireann, where she served as Minister for Labour (thus becoming the first woman minister in a modern Western European democracy).
Hill of Tara

~W.B. Yeats
Neolithic Sacred Sites
Caves of Kesh
Caves of Kesh, also known as Keash Coran are an ancient passage tomb cluster that is believed to predate the Pyramids of Egypt by 500-800 years.
There are many mythological stories associated with the Caves of Keash, including the legend of three sisters, called the “Hags of Winter,” where they set a trap to capture Fionn, and bound him with a magic cord that made him a weak as an old man.
