The Céide Fields, County Mayo Ireland.
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.Год назад
We visit the Ceide Fields - located close to the town of Killalla in north County Mayo. What a unique experience! Farming walls going back 5,000 years have been excavated on this site - giving us a glimpse into our farming past. The centre has a number of very useful exhibits, but the best part is that archaeological guides will take you into the excavated fields and explain how the fields were...

Was in Doolin in August 2013, what wonderful time. Don't forget to eat at gus O'Connor restaurant best seafood ever.
Visited it in Sept. of 2018
My husband and I visited this place last June on our first tour of Ireland. I hope to visit it again on future visits. It is such a gorgeous site.
Nice place
Brillant ...good on him ...✅️🍀😍
So sad hearing about the genocide of these poor starving people.
Titanic Museum is the best.I loved it ..met up with my local cousin who kind enough to show me around wonderful Belfast ❤
Beautiful scenery thanks for posting
A lovely wee girl, too.
Beautiful and so well presented thank I may just take you up on that invite.
My ancesters left Mayo Conimara and Galway, at the time of the famine settled inLeeds Yorkshire in the 1840s. They faced terrible prejudice in England for many years, the stories of hardship and survival, passed down to me by my Grandparents.
Canada here. I very much enjoyed my visit there in 2016, disturbing though it was. As I toured the house it was apparent the McMahons did everything they could to separate themselves from their tenants and servants. They kept the workers out of sight as much as possible. I believe they did not consider the Irish as real human beings, flesh and blood like them. That is how they were able to send so many off on coffin ships while they were malnourished and sick. The assassination was justice, in my opinion. Lord Palmerston, on the other hand, in Sligo, did all he could to improve his estate. It was over-populated, and his answer was to ASSIST his tenants to emigrate to the new world -- he did it for 20 years. Palmerston always treated his tenants with dignity, and he refused to evict anyone. No one thought of killing him.
I was in Louisburgh co. Mayo 2 weeks ago from Canada and snapped a picture of their free standing stone plaque, theirs seemed to be more detailed...
There was no need for all this. Loads of food available at the time but the collective thought at the time was"A dinner wasn't a dinner without spuds"so they stopped eating! The humble spud went on to make a great comeback and is now a worldwide favourite staple having originated in Ireland. Hope this is helpful in people's understanding of what actually happened.
I have relatives in Cork
Was there on Saturday, the weather wasnt good though
We visited in 2014. Joe and his wife Maeve are wonderful hosts and fantastic tour guides, and the whole place is beautiful and magical. Go there if you can.
Oh me oh my makes you think wow crazy the amount of hard work is crazy ..i love this history all history but simply amazing thankyou love it 🎉
Another great presentation, thank you
Have been there many times. One of my favorite places. Located near my cousin's home in Killyleagh.
Never heard of the story of St.Nicholus.
A little short but entertaining ! Beautiful inside lovely Kitchen Bedroom!
I honeymooned in Ireland in 1987 and while waiting in Shannon Airport to depart for home, I realized that my wife and I hadn't really purchased anything from Ireland to take home. I stepped away and quickly entered a duty-free shop near where we were sitting and snagged a triple distilled bottle of Bushmills. I've never been a whiskey drinker, but some 20 years later, I introduced a couple of visiting friends to the still unopened bottle of Bushmills. The two of them polished off about 90% of the bottle. Fittingly, one of these gentleman is named Daniel O'Brien.
I'd love a wee drop as well😂
It's well worth a visit and of course we brought a bottle home for ourselves too!
lol I live here
You should visit the irish famine memorial in Toronto.
Thank you for the details. Explained very well . 😊
St.Valentine pray for all Family🙏🙏
My family came from Fermanagh
I found a grave stone for my 3rd great grandfather John McCann. Although it is very difficult to read but it says John McCann Born County Derry Died September 11th, 1862 at 76 years. So he was born in 1786. I don't have an exact location. I have a cousin who paid for some research. She sent me lots of documents, I NEED to look through all of that and see if I have info on him.
IDerry is a terrific city to visit, from the wall to the Guildhall, to the streets themselves. The city bus tour is well worth it. I also applaud their efforts to end the prejudices and bring the people together,
Interesting history Ireland in Europe has a lot of interesting history counties and stuff directions to show me the video it's very Applebee's someday but very expensive I live in the US so she's here for you guys to get there thank you for sharing this is very stories and poems and quotes
Visited the house a few years ago. It was absolutely filthy. Dust everywhere. Totally neglected by the "custodians"! This is what happens when people have no idea what they are doing. It was quite sad to see the house being so neglected.
Bonnie Lass I really love your contents
The "west Brit" establishment are completely twisted (They're also a tiny but powerful minority) British colonial settlers have no right to be called Irish, Irish people of the time attended hedge schools not Trinity, they lived in tiny thatched cottages not country mansions. How many Irish family's had to suffer in order to pay for Strokestown House, what was the human cost?
Yea they always say these places were "tombs".... Lots of history covered up.
Was there in 2012. An amazing place. Mary
Good morning from Toledo Ohio USA
Nothing to do with the Irish Famine but for those interested in the Irish War of Independence 1919-1921 the British calvary regiment the 9th Lancers were based in Strokesdown House.
Thank you.
Just loved the visit to St Finbarr and definitely 'the beautiful' Gougane Barra - it's spirituality even shone through the internet - it is on my list to visit again!
Lovely part of Eira ❤
Thank for sharing this beautiful video
Thank you - It is on my agenda for my next trip to Cork from New Zealand on one of my reconnecting the dots on my family tree. What a beautiful place!
A truly beautiful place, thank you for another informative video
Thank you Carina
A lovely tour and Carina, I always enjoys your tour-guiding! Wonderful. I wish I were there.
Thanks Matt Sheehy … Canada
I kissed the Blarney stone and have been filled with fun and the gab ever since
I kissed the stone at Blarney, I was so excited to learn I have a connection to the Castle. Cormac Laidir Oge MacCarthy, Chieftan and 10th Lord of Muskerry, finished repairing the 3rd structure at the site. He is my paternal 13th great grandfather (1470 - 1536).
