Beneath the wild blanket bog of north Mayo lies one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites on Earth. The Ceide Fields are the remains of a farming community that worked this land more than 5,000 years ago, making it the oldest known enclosed field system in the world. This private day tour takes you from Dublin right to its doorstep.
Your professional chauffeur collects you from your accommodation in a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz and heads west through a landscape that shifts from green midland pastures to the dramatic, windswept coast of Mayo. The drive itself is part of the experience, with opportunities to stop wherever catches your eye along the way.
At the Ceide Fields, you will explore the visitor centre and walk among the ancient stone walls that have been revealed from beneath the peat. The cliff-top setting is breathtaking, with views out over the Atlantic that put the scale of this prehistoric settlement into perspective. Your chauffeur is happy to answer questions throughout the day and suggest additional stops on the return journey if time allows.
