Powerful Places in Ireland is not your usual guidebook. It is not about visiting places, it's about experiencing them. Ireland is a magical place, bright and shining, misty and mysterious, filled with powerful sites. You could say, most of Ireland is a powerful place. Come and explore a carefully chosen selection of Ireland's impressive megalithic sites, including grass-covered cairns and massive stone circles; holy wells and sacred mountains; ruined abbeys and medieval chapels.
Powerful Places in Ireland provides detailed descriptions of these powerful places, including how to get there and what to do when you arrive. Numerous maps, graphics, and photos bring the locations to life.
We have included GPS headers to help you locate sites that are difficult to find, as well as QR codes in the print edition for ease of accessing relevant websites. If you are intrigued by the unusual; if you long to connect more deeply with the places you visit; if you have a nagging feeling that there's more to some places than meets the eye—this is the travel guide for you.
