We are currently on holiday in #Cavan at the moment but I wanted to share these photos with you all.

We went on a guided tour of #Newgrange today. We were allowed into see the inner chamber.

We stood inside a Neolithic Chamber that was built 5,200 years ago, which makes it older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza.

There are no words to explain how that feels - we are merely a dot on the timeline of this earth!

@jacqui76 it is so life changing knowing we were standing in the same spot as people so long ago. I get chills every time I think about it!

Totally agree, you can't get your head around the fact that people were there over 5,000 years, moved those kerbstones and designed that art and it's still here.

I am not ashamed to admit that there was a few tears when we stood inside that chamber in the dark.
