Druid’s Circle, Clermont Estate: this small oval stone circle above the Flurry River, marked as both “Standing Stone” and “Druids Circle” on old maps, was likely uncovered in 1840 by Lord Clermont. Though some believe it’s prehistoric, others argue it may be 19th-century landscaping. Its irregular layout and re-set stones cast doubt on its authenticity. Still, it’s a scenic and mysterious woodland stop.

very easily missed. keep eye open.

Great post! A Boyne boat tour sounds like a fantastic way to experience Irish history. Are there specific locations featured from the HBO series? Reminds me a bit of exploring islands in Poptropica - fun adventures with a historical twist! I wonder if they offer themed tours or have cosplayers onboard? It would add a special touch. https://poptropica.io/

A super stop off on the greenway. 4.2km from the start of the greenway in Carlingford. delicious food, cooffee, scones etc and free fruit flavoured water.

St. Mary's Church is an impressive example of neo-Gothic architecture that blends beautifully into the cityscape. Construction was completed in 1889, and as soon as you walk through the portal, the tranquility of the church's interior envelops you. The stained glass windows cast colorful spots of light on the floor, while the murals and mosaics bring the stories of the saints and the biblical scenes to life. On your bike tour, the church is the perfect place for a short cultural break. A moment of silence inside can work wonders before you get back in the saddle. Be sure not to miss the details on the facade - they tell a lot about the craftsmanship of the time. Even if there are no guided tours, it is worth taking a look inside the church to discover the works of art on your own.

Hidden in Ravensdale Forest, off the main paths, you come across a mystical stone circle that raises questions: Was it the Druids who held their mysterious rituals here, or was it the eccentric 19th century landowner who wanted to immortalize himself with this project? Nobody knows for sure, and that makes this place all the more fascinating. The eight stones, arranged in an oval, seem like silent witnesses to a time long gone. On the maps, the circle is referred to as both the 'Standing Stone' and the 'Druids Circle', and you immediately sense that this place exudes a special aura. The stone circle is just a short climb from the Flurry River, in the middle of the old Lord Clermont Estate. Up here, in the shade of the trees, it feels like you have entered another world. The stones, covered in moss, invite you to pause and enjoy the tranquility of the forest.
