I visited here with my family. We took the tour and were glad that we did as I think it would have been less easy to understand the historical importance of the site without a guide. So much of Irish history is bound up in the Hill of Tara.... More

Nothing spectacular. Difficult to find if you are not local and simply you expect more. More

A great place to stand and see for miles across the country and think about your ancestors and the way they lived their lives. If you have the time first walk through the local grave yard beside the church and read the inscriptions on the graves. personal favourites include "Gone fishing" or "Abroad in the fields". Not an awful lot... More

Aside from the historic attachments it has, but that's it, it's a small hill in Co. Meath with a coffee shop and a tourist trap shop. More

A very calm place, try to get there when the sun is setting and give yourself time to relax and drink it in. You wont be dissapointed. Then treat yourself to a nice hot chocolate at the cafe by the car park. More

And we clearly didn't. A green hill??? The film show at the Visitor Centre is certainly well worth it - without that we would have been completely lost, wandering over the hills and looking like we thought we knew why we were there. More

Tara, the most important place in Ireland and the pride of Royal County of Meath! You need to understand Tara and all it means to get the magical feeling of the place. You also need a guide book before you start. A visit to the little second-hand book shop down the road is a must More
