As you can see from the aerial photography, the earthen monuments on the Hill of Tara don't look that spectacular, especially at ground level. On the guided walking tour you will be exploring the fabric of this place, the archaeology, myth and legend, seeing how they weave together to relay the story of Tara. You will learn about the secret sacred wells, liminal spaces, mysterious earth works, earth energies, sacred taboos, the golden section of phi, the gods and the goddess. By the end of the tour you know for yourself why Tara has been one of the most powerful place in Ireland for over five thousand years.
