Guided Tours of the Hill of Tara
Tours by appointment - tour approx. one hour - adults 10 euro / families 15 euro
During the tours we shall explore this sacred site by sharing our experiences of the Hill.
We shall connect the threads of archaeology, history, myth, earth energies
and the mystery and magic that make Tara a special place.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
The Hill of Tara had five names...
The first was Druim Descuin, or the Conspicuous Hill;
the second was Liath Druim, or Liath's Hill from a Firbolg chief of that name who was the first to clear it of wood;
the third was Druim Cain, or the Beautiful Hill;
the fourth was Cathair Crofinn;
and the fifth name was Teamair (now Anglicised Tara, from the genitive case Teambrach of the word), a name which it got from being the burial place of Tea, the wife of Eremon, the son of Milesius."
from Manners and Customs of the Ancient Irish by Eugene O'Curry, 1873.
