Very impressive tomb built during the Neolithic Period - which means it's older than Stonehenge and the pyramids. A must stop in County Meath.

Older than Stonehenge and the pyramids, this monument stands in the green countryside of County Meath and tells stories of a time long gone. The journey here takes you along quiet roads along the Boyne until you finally stand in front of the massive burial mound.

The intricate decorations on the stones and the special architecture of the cross-shaped chamber are impressive. It is amazing how people back then were able to create such precise construction without modern tools. If you take a break here, you can feel the special energy of the place - as if history itself is whispering through the wind.

A detour is worthwhile, especially if you want to incorporate a little culture into your cycling tour. The journey is easy and there are plenty of places to park your bike and explore the area.
