A great place for a walk, coffee and lunch.
There are a large number of monuments and earthen structures on the Hill of Tara. Once the seat of the High Kings of Ireland. Saint Patrick was said to have come here to drive out the pagans, but these days it is regularly used by Shaman's and druids for ritual... look out for fairies too under the fairy tree!
