Sonia Gelman Very interesting site. We visited it too.
Traveler Oh my goodness, I don't think I knew about this, discontinuing tours. Winter Solstice tours are by lottery. So very grateful that we also got to see the interior of Newgrange. This year I watched the Solstice via live feed on their website. It was wonderful to see, although the simulation was quite good I think. Still, watching the sun enter the tomb on Solstice was kinda cool.
Two to Travel What with the COVID closure of the site it probably went unnoticed. Perhaps the 2020 forced-closures will have helped heal the damage so that they can do some tours with smaller groups. Our group of 10 was plenty large for that chamber.
Traveler Fascinating history I read from Wikipedia. Cool to be able to view it,.
