Dublin Day-Trips

Our two weeks in Dublin combined a wonderful immersion in the city of Dublin with wide-ranging experience of the major sites surrounding Ireland's major city.  We made three extensive day-trips, each of which was unforgettable.  These trips were particularly remarkable for the great variety they exhibited of Irish culture.  From burial tombs that pre-date the pyramids to political murals painted in Belfast just a few years ago, these trips further defined for us the range and striking texture of Irish life.

First Trip: Newgrange, Tara, Mellifont, Monasterboice

Second Trip:  Belfast, Northern Ireland

Third Trip:  Glendalough, Powerscourt, Avondale
