Ireland - Knowth

This is the last of my Ireland/Northern Ireland vacation posts.  If you've never visited, please find a way to do so because it is awesome!  It is a vacation you will not regret!  Now to the point of this post.  One of our stops was Knowth, located not far from Dublin.  What is Knowth?  I can't do it justice, so here's what you can find on Wikipedia.

"Knowth is a Neolithic passage grave and an ancient monument of Brú na Bóinne in Ireland's valley of the River Boyne. It is the largest passage grave of the Brú na Bóinne complex and consists of a large mound and 17 smaller satellite tombs."

That doesn't do it justice, so here are a few pictures we took.  










To visit here you need to take a tour that you catch at a different place and take a short bus ride here.  For more information, go to the link below.


It's a very impressive place, so if you are ever in Ireland, this is a must see!
