A winter wonder above County Kerry! ❄️

The Devil’s Punchbowl, a stunning lake nestled high up on Mangerton Mountain, is a must-see for nature lovers. This lake, carved by glaciers, sits in a natural “bowl” formed by the cliffs surrounding it, giving it a mysterious, otherworldly feel. On a snowy day, it’s even more magical. 😍

December 21st brings magic to Newgrange! 🌅

Dating back over 5,000 years, this remarkable site in County Meath was designed to capture the first light of the winter solstice. As the sun rises on the shortest day, a golden beam illuminates the inner chamber, symbolising the “rebirth” of the sun and marking brighter days ahead. This tradition offers a beautiful glimpse into Ireland’s ancient past and connection to nature.
