We are pleased to announce that bookings are now being taken for our next sacred sites season (our ninth) to take place in May/June 2019. We will spend 11 days in Ireland immediately followed by our Viking era tour visiting Iceland, Sweden and Denmark. Our tours are especially designed for those who have a love of history, a fascination for the mystical, and a desire to visit some of the most beautiful and sacred places in these most ancient lands. Combining well-researched historical and archaeological information with the assistance of expert guides, we shall explore myth and legend, visit holy wells, stone circles, stone ship graves, burial mounds, ancient settlements, pretty villages, passage tombs and even take a sail on a Viking longship. For detailed information of itineraries, dates and costs, please visit our website at www.dragonseyetours.com. As there is already much interest in the tours, it is recommended that you consider booking as soon as you can.

We had the most fantastic time on the West Country and Scottish tours. Wonderful group of people. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone on tour for ensuring we had the most amazing time. Truly fabulous.

It is a week today that we depart London for Cornwall for the West Country tour. Three people on the West Country tour are doing it once more and quite a few people from former tours are coming on our first tour of Scotland. Everyone coming on tour is so excited and many chatting to each other on Facebook (I introduced those who wished to do so) about cameras, packing, etc. Roll on the 21st of August. And then Scotland in September. At the end of the Scottish tour, I am going to Sweden and Denmark to research a future Viking tour. So so much to look forward to. The first photo is of our guest guide for Scotland, Laura Daligan. The second is the beautiful Isle of Lewis, the third is Wells Cathedral taken from the garden of the Bishop's Palace. And the last is the burial mounds at Old Uppsala, Sweden. The church in the background was built on the site of the pagan temple. Many Blessings to all.

24/07/2017

Just under a month now before the West Country tour starts followed by the tour of Scotland. Everyone is so excited as am I. Can't wait once again to show people the wonderful places we visit. The first photo is a mace head one can hold in your own hands at the Tomb of the Eagles on Orkney. The second photo is of the Neolithic village, Skara Brae, also on Orkney. The third photo shows tour participants relaxing sitting by the White Horse of Uffington. The last photo was taken at Stonehenge after our Druid ritual. Roll on 21 August which is our first day when we drive from London to beautiful coastal village, Boscastle, in Cornwall.

Wonderful program about Orkney last night on SBS. Going to many of the places shown in the program on our Scottish tour in September. If you are in Australia, you can watch it here.

Britain's Ancient Capital digs beneath the surface of the dazzling and mysterious Orkney Islands. Orkney might seem remote today but in the Stone Age these fascinating islands were a technological, cultural and spiritual hub. This documentary uses CGI technology, satellite imaging, drone photography...

So looking forward to our tour of Scotland in September this year. Here are some wonderful places we will be visiting in Orkney. The Ring of Brodgar, Skara Brae neolithic village, a Viking grave at the Broch of Gurness and a beautifully carved piece made of bone in the museum in Kirkwall, Orkney.

12/03/2017

Can't wait for our first Scottish tour. Here are some photos for those who are coming on tour or those who would like to in the future to whet the appetite. These photos are of beautiful St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney. Just love the statue of St Magnus given to the people of Orkney by the people of Norway which shows him standing on a representation of his ego. Wonderful.

19/01/2017

The West Country tour is now fully booked again. Roll on August.

17/01/2017

Only seven months to go before the West Country tour begins in August. We have just had a cancellation which gives someone a great opportunity to join the tour which was previously fully booked. So if you are female and would like to share accommodation with a wonderful lady, please let us know. The photo is taken at Tintagel Castle the first place we visit on the tour.

20/11/2016

A program about Orkney was aired on SBS last night and includes the Tomb of the Eagles which we will be visiting on our tour of Scotland next year. The two ladies being interviewed are the daughters of the man who discovered the site and who now run the Visitors Centre for the Tomb. Lovely ladies who were very kind to me when I visited last year. Unfortunately, this is only available to watch for those who live in Australia.

Keeping It All Together - There are 70 islands in the Orkney archipelago, but just how much of a challenge is it to keep all these islands connected? To explore what keeps all these remote places together, Paul is island hopping from North Ronaldsay to Papa Stronsay and then onto Egislay before endi...

12/09/2016

The tour of Scotland in 2017 is now fully booked but we do have one place left on the West Country tour. We have a wonderful time so do consider joining us. If you can't join us in 2017, do contact me to put your name on our waiting list for 2018 when we will once again visit the West Country and also Ireland. The photo is of beautiful St Nectan's Glen in Cornwall.

12/09/2016

For those of you in Australia, I highly recommend watching this latest BBC tv series about The Celts.

Anthropologist Professor Alice Roberts and archaeologist Neil Oliver go in search of The Celts, one of the world's most mysterious ancient people. They travel further than Britain and Ireland, discovering the origins and beliefs in artefacts and human remains right across Europe, from Turkey to Port...

07/09/2016

Two of the wonderful places we visit in Cornwall during the West Country tour. The fascinating Museum of Witchcraft in Boscastle and beautiful St Nectan's Glen.

04/09/2016

Very happy group after Stonehenge ritual and the wonderful Calanais on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. Just under a year now before our 2017 tours. This should whet the appetite for those who are coming on tour next year.

07/08/2016

A wonderful find at Tintagel, the very first place we visit on our West Country tour. Join us in 2017. See www.dragonseyetours.com for detailed itineraries and information.

The royal residence of 6th Century rulers is believed to have been discovered at the legendary birthplace of King Arthur.

30/07/2016

Thrilled to let everyone know that there is lots of interest in our 2017 tours next year and we already have quite a few bookings for both the West Country and Scotland tours. If you plan on joining us or are thinking of doing so, please book as soon as you can to reserve your place. Found this article this morning about a Bronze Age burial of a woman whose face has been reconstructed. We are visiting the Stones of Achavanich very close to where her bones were found.

A facial reconstruction is made of a young woman who died more than 3,700 years ago.

04/07/2016

Am so pleased to announce that bookings are now open for the August/September 2017 Scotland and West Country sacred site tours. This will be our eighth season and our inaugural tour of Scotland. The tours are especially designed for those who have a love of history, a passion for the mystical, and a desire to visit some of the most beautiful and sacred places in these most ancient lands.

Combining well-researched historical and archaeological information with the assistance of expert guides, we shall explore myth and legend, visit holy wells, stone circles, pagan temples, ancient castles and settlements, pretty villages and passage tombs. We have private access to Stonehenge where the group takes part in a Druid ritual and will also be doing special rituals at Calanis Stone Circle and the Ring of Brogdar in Scotland.

Other highlights of the tours include two days spent with our guide for Scotland, Helen Woodsford-Dean who specialises in pagan tours of Orkney and who will facilitate the ritual at the Ring of Brogdar. We are also privileged to spend the best part of a day with Professor Ronald Hutton who takes us on a wonderful tour of Glastonbury. Rituals and meditations will be facilitated by tour guides, Wiccan Priestess Christine Casey and our regular guest guide, Bev Murray, a Wiccan High Priestess who will also conduct workshops and give tarot readings during the tour.

Travelling with a small group (12 max) and with plenty of time to relax, wander, explore, meditate and experience the power and energy of the special places we visit, you can be assured of a unique and exceptional holiday experience.

13/09/2015

Suddenly realised I hadn't posted any photos since Cornwall. Here are some photos of our wonderful time in the West Country. Everyone had an amazing time and certainly was life changing for some. It is so great to be able to take people to beautiful places, do ritual together and just have a truly wonderful time - so many laughs. A truly wonderful group this year. Love you all.

03/09/2015

We are having a wonderful time. Thus far we have visited Tintagel Castle, Rocky Valley, the Hurlers Stone Circles and the Cheesewring. This is a photo of some of our tour participants standing on the Cheesewring. Note the cloud at the top left of the picture in the shape of a dragon. Magical.

18/08/2015

Two weeks from today we go to Tintagel in north Cornwall on our first visit on the West Country tour. So looking forward to showing everyone the wonderful castle and the parish church with its pre-Christian burial mounds and standing stone to be followed by a wonderful dinner at the Riverside restaurant

11/08/2015

Just under three weeks to go before the West Country tour begins with the Irish tour to follow. Am very excited. This photo is of one of the incredibly carved kerbstones at Knowth passage tomb in Ireland.

31/07/2015

Yours truly and David, our wonderful sometimes driver, good friend and travel agent extraordinaire who takes the bookings and organises accommodation etc etc. for the tours. Without David and his lovely wife Kathy who've had so much faith in me from day 1, the tours would never have started in the first place. Thank you so much my friends. This photo was taken at Rocky Valley, Cornwall and if you look closely you can see the two labyrinths carved into the rock face.

30/07/2015

For those coming to Ireland this year or in the future, here is a photo of the Giant's Causeway. An amazing place. So beautiful. On this day, we drive part of the North Antrim coast road regarded as one of the most beautiful coastal drives in the world. We also visit Dunluce Castle and walk the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. So love Ireland.

24/07/2015

Only five weeks to go before the start of the West Country Tour followed by the Irish tour. This photo is of the moat at the Bishop's Place in Wells - such a beautiful place. The moat is famous for its swans and last year we were lucky to see a flock of baby swans with their mother. Very excited now.

11/07/2015

Very excited. Just seven weeks to go before we depart on the West Country tour. This is a photo of yours truly taken at Avebury.

Here is a photo of guest guide, Bev Murray, with our wonderful guide for Glastonbury, Professor Ronald Hutton. This photo was taken atop Glastonbury Tor.

20/06/2015

Just over two months before the West Country tour departs London for Cornwall. Guest guide, Bev, and I are so looking forward to taking this year's tour participants to so many beautiful places including beautiful St Nectan's Glen.

29/04/2015

On SBS this week, the first episode of Neil Oliver's program, Sacred Wonders of Britain began with beautiful St Nectan's Glen which we visit on the West Country tour. The next sacred place shown was Wayland's Smithy which we also visit and where Neil spoke to Professor Ronald Hutton about the significance of this wonderful sacred place. I noticed in the credits that Ronald worked as a consultant for the program. We are so incredibly fortunate to have Ronald as our guest guide for Glastonbury. The program also included a section about Avebury, West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury, all on our West Country itinerary. There are still places left on the West Country and Irish tours in September. For detailed information about the tours, visit www.dragonseyetours.com.

Neil Oliver goes on a journey to reveal the sacred face of Britain, an ancient landscape of belief and ritual that still lies hidden just below the surface of the modern world. In the first episode, Neil is in search of the very first stirrings of religion in Britain. In the south of England and on…
