Queen Medb Conference

  We travelled to Rathcroghan in a group of eight from Tour Guiding course in Dublin.
We all knew about the Royal site at Tara and Newgrange but we were... read more not so familiar with Rathcroghan. Why? This is a hidden gem in Roscommon less than two hours from Dublin.

Daniel, our very friendly and enthusiastic guide for the visit, was a mine of information on the history of the site so rich in history and archaeology. He is a Phd Student and he is passionate about Rathcroghan and the surrounding area. He had an incredible ability to impart a huge amount of history in a very comprehensive format.

This was a very worthwhile day trip form Dublin.The visitor centre and exhibition space is also very well laid out with a very well stocked selection of books among other items.
The guidebook by Daniel Curley and Mike Mc Carthy is an excellent production and well worth purchasing particularly since we are all housebound at the moment.

I can't recommend the visit enough .This is a good stop on any travel to the west, very nice restaurant and very welcoming and accommodating staff.
