7 Things You Shouldn’t Forget to Pack When Travelling to Ireland

Warm clothes and shoes- Ireland has a moist climate and it can be windy, which when combined makes it feel cooler. The Gulf Stream means we have a very moderate but unpredictable climate. So packing clothes for Ireland is easy: something wind and water proof and also something warm.

Be prepared also for good weather as we do actually get some very nice hot sunny days! Bring layers and a waterproof jacket. ‘Layers’ such as a good wool sweater and a light rain/wind breaker!

In winter it can get quite damp so bring plenty of warm clothes. The west coast of Ireland has some of the best beaches in Europe so bring some beachwear too, especially in summertime.

Shoes – comfortable walking shoes in fact! Make sure to pack a pair or two of comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots as the best way to see the Irish countryside and many of it sights is on foot.

The unit of currency in the Republic of Ireland is the Euro – in Northern Ireland it’s Sterling. Make sure you have some of both currencies especially if you are travelling to both parts of Ireland.

A backpack is always handy – especially if you’re hiking or walking long distances to attractions – and bring along some waterproof bags! The wonderful Irish countryside will make you want to walk and walk some more!

Pack that camera and if you have one, a film video camera. Don’t forget essentials for the digital camera such as rechargeable batteries, charger for the camera, and plenty of film! Ireland and its natural beauty offers a wonderful backdrop for marvellous photograph images so be prepared to snap our natural beauty!

Don’t forget a plug converter/adaptor – so you can use essential electrical items. The three-pronged plugs are the ones that will work in Ireland so make sure to pack these.

If you’re on prescription medicine make sure you bring a prescription with you, and you’re your health insurance details.

Pack a good Travel Guidebook and Road Map of Ireland. Especially if you’re booking car hire in Ireland. Fair enough the modern car hire contract can afford you a GPS and Satellite Navigation systems, but a good tip is to purchase an ordnance survey map of Ireland. The place names will be in both the Irish and English language. Please also visit the GoIreland.com Maps page.

Not necessarily important but if you have room in your luggage and if you play a musical instrument take it along! If you can sing and play it would go down just mighty in any pub session you may drop into, especially along the west coast of Ireland. And don’t forget to pack your smile to Ireland – it will be given back to you a thousand times!

Newgrange

Constructed around 3200 BC, Newgrange is perhaps the most important prehistoric site in Ireland, and maybe Europe. It outdates Stonehenge in the UK by some 1,000 years!

It consists of a megalithic passage tomb, and the mound covers an area of over an acre and is circled by almost 100 kerbstones, which are tastefully adorned with megalithic art. A designated World Heritage site by UNESCO, the site was excavated in 1962. You cannot gain direct access to the tomb, but there is a guided tour from the Bru na Boinne Visitor Centre that is near the village of Donore, County Meath.

The Centre will afford you a fine summary of the historical and astronomical background to the site, and the tour will take you to the inner chamber for a winter solstice simulation. The significance of Newgrange can be seen on December 21st each year; when the sun rises, the whole passage and chamber are lit up. This solar masterpiece is a testament to the wisdom of megalithic man in Ireland and its importance in telling the seasons and the calendar.

Knowth

The great mound at Knowth was constructed possibly 5,000 years ago, after the construction of Newgrange. The most impressive thing of these prehistoric chambers is the work that went into creating them, with granite coming from Dundalk Bay, and white quartz from Wicklow Bay forming the basis of the creation of the chambers.

The tomb has two passages on opposite sites and both have solar significance at the time of the winter solstice. The megalithic artwork on the stones shows the importance of Knowth as an astronomical centre of its time, and the Calendar and Lunar stones are magnificent works. You can take a tour from Bru na Boinne Visitor Centre.

Dowth

Known as the ” Fairy Mound of Darkness”, it’s similar in size to Newgrange and Knowth and was built in the same period. Visitors to Dowth can drive directly to the site on the north bank of the river, a couple of miles from the Slane to Drogheda road, and you can discover the beauty of the peaceful mound for yourself as it is not covered by the tour of Newgrange and Knowth. The rays of the setting sun illuminate the passage and chamber around the time of the winter solstice.

Poulnabrone Dolmen

Located in the Karst landscape Burren area of County Clare, this is the archetypal dolmen, which was excavated in 1986 and it was found to be a prehistoric burial area for around 20 adults and six children. It’s one of the most famous landmarks in the strange and alluring limestone area of the Burren. Basically the dolmen consists of standing stones with a large stone at the top at an angle. The dolmen is a short walking distance from the road and is located 1km north of the village of Caherconnell.

The area is littered with other stone forts at Cahermore and Poulawick Cairn, which are other prehistoric burial chambers. The Burren is an area of startling beauty, with unique flora and majestic sights. An area filled with charm and a fitting testimony to Ireland’s prehistoric past!

The Hill of Tara

Also containing the “Mount of the Hostages”, the Hill of Tara has a deep historical significance that is generally regarded as being the site where the High Kings of Ireland held court, and this was long after the passage tombs were created on the Hill of Tara. The most famous King who sat at Tara was Cormac Mac Airt who ruled in the 3rd century AD. The artwork on the stones, and their meaning on the hill of Tara like the Newgrange sites are open to interpretation, but it is fair to say that they may well have depicted an ancient calendar.

Loughcrew Megalithic Cairns

It’s widely regarded as Ireland’s second largest megalithic cemetery. The Loughcrew site contains some passage tombs that offer solar illuminations (in contrast to Newgrange Loughcrew experiences them at the time of the Spring and Autumn equinoxes) and also contains some stunning rock art. The passage tombs are well worth viewing and the views are spectacular. Loughcrew is located to the south of Oldcastle in County Meath.

Dun Aengus

Located on the picturesque Inismore, the largest of the three Aran Islands, situated off the coast of County Galway. The site is a promontory fort which is bordered by walls on three sides, and with a huge drop to the ocean!

Dun Aengus is located at the edge of an approximately 100 metre high cliff, in an awesome setting with wonderful views. Rumoured to have been built in the 2nd century BC, its use was probably for religious ceremonies for the druids rather than military. Archaeologists remain convinced that Dun Aengus was once located further inland on the island but coastal erosion has led to its cliff edge position.

Carrowmore

Widely regarded as the largest Megalithic burial ground in Ireland, Carrowmore, located in County Sligo outside Sligo town, once had over 200 megalithic monuments but these have been destroyed over time and only around 40 remain visible today. Like Newgrange, some of these burial chambers date back to 3000 BC, which makes them maybe 500 years older than the Pyramids of Egypt. Tombs of all shapes and sizes are located here, and each with a solar alignment. There’s a small visitor centre, which gives historical information in relation to the area.

Queen Maeve’s Grave

Located in the same area as Carrowmore in Sligo, the Grave that is reputed to be the final resting place of Queen Maeve, the legendary Queen of the Celtic people. It is comprised of several “sacred” stones perched at the top of Knocknarea, and affords wonderful views of Sligo Bay, and is a must visit for the spectacular views alone!

Navan Fort

Lying to the West of Armagh lies Navan Fort, also known as Emain Macha. It’s widely regarded as one of the earliest capitals of the Ulster state. There have been amazing discoveries made at Navan Fort, and there are the remains of a large Celtic temple that functioned there. It’s reckoned to have been built around 95BC. The remains are mainly in earthwork form and there’s a visitor centre there so you can learn all about the history of the Fort.

Deciding what gifts to buy my mom for her birthday and special occasions is always tough. She’s pretty picky and sticks with what she knows, so that means that most new nightgowns, sweaters and perfumes my kids pick out for her for Christmas stay in their boxes underneath her bed. It’s not that she doesn’t appreciate the things, it’s just she doesn’t like to try new things.

But one thing that we know she loves doing is watching movies. So the kids thought that we would share our love of Netflix with her and it has been quite a hit. Her internet provider wasn’t so great and we knew that our satellite internet in Alpine CA would be much better for streaming movies, so we got wildblue in Kansas for her.

I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to say she’s the company’s best customer because every time I talk to her on the phone she tells me about al the movies she’s watched with wild blue direct tv in the days since we last talked. I’ve also introduced her to “The Office,” which she seems to really love.
