NEW BOOKLET AND WEBSITE PROMOTE ANCIENT MONUMENTS OF IRELAND
Borderlands: journey through changing times The historical sites of Ireland's Eastern Border Region
A new venture to promote the historical and ancient sites of the border region of Ireland has been launched. Borderlands takes you on a journey through the ever changing landscape of Ireland's Eastern Borders. Many of the sites highlighted by the new project are within an hour's drive or less of Newgrange and the Boyne Valley monuments. Recent changes in the region now allow easy access to many wonderful historical sites scanning 6,000 years of history.
Click on the Borderlands map to see the sites highlighted.
The Borderlands area covers Newry & Mourne, Banbridge and Armagh in Northern Ireland and Louth and Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland. With over 50 historical sites, wonderful scenery and warm, welcoming people, borderlands is an ideal place to visit for special interest groups, and tours full of history and intrigue.
The Borderlands guide is a full-colour booklet packed with information, photos and maps to help you enjoy the prehistoric monuments and historic sites of the area. It is a fantastic publication and will be available shortly at local tourist offices. A new website packed with the same information is online at www.borderlands-ireland.com. Each site is described in detail and the information includes access to the monuments and local facilities.
New Mythical Ireland video section
Featured video - Evening
This month, Mythical Ireland is expanding with a new section devoted to giving you a taste of Ireland in audio visual. Our new video section will feature short movies which will add a new dimension to the whole Mythical Ireland experience. While we strive to give you a good flavour of ancient Ireland and its myths in words and pictures, we would like to allow you to see in moving imagery the sights that Ireland has to offer.
The latest video is simply called "Evening" and was shot entirely in one evening. It is two minutes long and features some time-lapse sequences showing moving, flowing cloud, as well as a few other bits and pieces. Our new video page can be found by simply typing www.mythicalireland.com/videos or by clicking this link. We do hope you enjoy this new experience!

"Peace
mounts to the heavens, the heavens descend to earth, earth lies under
the heavens,
everyone is strong . . ." Victory song of the Morrigan,
Book of Fermoy
"In the old time the people used to be looking at the moon and at the sun and the rest of the stars, travelling and ever-travelling, through the day, and at the flowing and ever-flowing of the world's wells and rivers, and at the sadness of the earth and the trance and the sleep of it with the coming of winter, and the rising of the world again with the coming of the summer." Great Wonders of the Olden Time, from Lady Gregory's Saints and Wonders
