attractions of Ireland, Newgrange
For example, Newgrange is a huge mound that existed long before the appearance of the Egyptian pyramids, but it was discovered only in the seventeenth century. One of the amazing phenomena of this ancient monument is that the sun's rays enter the tomb only once a year (December 21, the day of the winter solstice), and only for 17 minutes. At this time, the entire tunnel (which extends to the burial chamber) is illuminated with light, and an unusual ornament on the stone located there becomes visible. Also, Ireland's attractions include the cities of Cork and Waterford, where there is definitely something to see. Having visited the county of Donegal, you can see the place along which (according to legend) a headless horseman moved.
