Walk in the footsteps of Irish High-Kings, Gods & Goddesses

Let us lead you through the myths and legends of Uisneach at the Sacred Centre of Ireland...

It’s a curious thing to climb a hill on an apparently ordinary working farm in the Irish midlands and find yourself standing at a gateway to the mythical “otherworld”.

Here on the sacred Hill of Uisneach, the thin veil between myth and reality disappears...

Located in the heart of Ireland’s midlands, The Hill of Uisneach in Co. Westmeath has featured in every significant Irish event – be it political, cultural, religious, mythological or geographical. The centre of Ireland in many ways, the enigmatic hill is one of the most sacred and historic sanctuaries in the world.

Re-engage with Irish ancient heritage and walk the ancient landscape.

TOURS & EVENTS

Our pre-booked Public Tours are a great way of getting out into nature and learning about the mythology, history, archaeology and built heritage that has been sewn into the Hill over past millennia. It’s an enjoyable afternoon spent with old and new friends, alike.

We offer Bespoke Private Tours at a time and date that suits. Every tour is with one of our trained local guides, specialising in the chosen tour subject. Focusing on the subject, the tour is relaxed and not rushed, taking in the heritage that pertains to the Hill and surrounding areas.

Our Celtic Calendar Tours are a great way of re-engaging with our ancient past. We mark the important days on the old Irish Celtic Calendar with a tour created around the information and traditions that have been handed down.

VISITORS CENTRE

Our Visitors Centre is a sympathetically restored Irish cottage, nestled into the foot of the Hill; where the door is always open and the kettle is always on. Our outdoor seated courtyard is a great place to relax after your tour. It is from here all tours of the Hill begin and where Tea and Coffee is served afterwards.

We also have a purpose-built Audio-Visual Room that hosts talks, musical events and intimate evenings. In front of the Visitors Centre and surrounded by a natural meadow is our outdoor stage, where we also host many different types of gatherings and events.

COURSES & WORKSHOPS

Art and the art of connecting with the land is a favourite with our mindfulness guests. Treated to fresh air and wide-open landscapes, yoga and the practice of drawing, painting, or print-making is a great way of relaxing the mind and rewarding the soul with personal achievements.

Our foraging walks will lead you through a landscape untouched for millennia, hunting high and hunting low discovering the treasures that are often passed by unnoticed! Learn of the uses, the cures, the jewels that line the paths we walk; learn of the medicinal flora that our ancestors would have used and enjoy the fruits of the walk in our meadow, out in the open.

Our Team Building Days are a great way to soak up the quiet spaces on offer on the Hill. Get out in the open air, without the distractions of traffic, the hustle and bustle of the office environment and reconnect with oneself and colleagues.
