Complete lack of pre Famine history

BabyE · 2016-10-11 23:57:33

Trying to watch a documentary but just realized the lack lf Irish history before famine and particularly 1916. Irish history is boring after 1900, world war passed us oby and by time we won independence, the poverty isolated oppressed narrative had been indented into the pysche.

Insane really. Decided I'll go Newgrange next week

While you're in the area, you could drop in to Trim Castle aswell. And the Hill of Tara. Actually, all of Meath is a pre-famine history goldmine.

Something as simple as Ireland just being full of forest is so so interesting to me, we have a beautiful country but really only along the coasts, the middle is too bare, flat, boring and ugly.
