We booked the falconry experience through the K Club and Brian brought his majestic birds to meet us in the beautiful grounds of the hotel. We knew this was going to something special when Brian immediately produced two Golden eagles from his van and he told us the story of how he was the first person to successfully breed a Golden Eagle in Ireland... you could sense straight away how much he cared for his birds (like a doting father) and when they opened their enormous wings you realised the strength and power these glorious birds possess. Brian then produced an array of wonderful birds from little owls to Harris hawks and falcons letting us hold each one in turn whilst he told us of their history and gave us a glimpse into their individual characters whilst explaining how they hunt their prey in the wild. We only booked a 90 minute session, but after two hours Brian was still producing birds for us and then he took us on a hawk walk through the gardens accompanied by two hawks flying free but returning at regular intervals to land on our arms and feed. Our session was rounded off after 3 hours with Brian creating a wonderful slow motion video of the little owl flying through our arms towards the camera - a great memory to hold on to from such a wonderful experience. Brian is a warm and friendly man with a little cheeky glint in his eye who loves his birds and loves talking to his customers about how much he loves them. We have truly enjoyed our trip to Ireland but the highlight of our trip was undoubtedly our three hour session with Brian and his family of birds... I cannot recommend this experience highly enough as it surpassed all of our expectations... if you love birds of prey then I throughly recommend you indulge yourself and book the falconry experience with Brian - he is guaranteed to keep you entertained and enthralled. Thank you Brian, you gave us such an enjoyable time and we really loved your company! ... we will definitely see you again the next time we visit Ireland! T & D
5. Trim Castle

Completed around 1220, the Irish Parliament met there several times in the 15th century. It was also used as a mint for the country's currency. In modern times, "Braveheart" was filmed in Trim Castle.

Included in your entrance fee to the castle is a 45 min guided tour - which we found very interesting, informative, and enjoyable and learned why this ruin is really considered more of a Keep as opposed to a castle.....and at the end of the tour you are taken to the top where there are spectacular 360° views of the surrounding area.
6. Bru na Boinne

Space is limited each day to 650 people, but it is well-worth the visit. The site is 5,000 years old, which makes it older than the pyramids. Historians was once believed Newgrange was a passage tomb, but now is believed to be an ancient temple.

We visited Newgrange and Knowth on the last week of October. The visitor center was still under renovation and no entrance fee was charged. Visiting Newgrange and Knowth will require 3 hours so factor that into your plans. Due to the length of time required, I would recommend going on the first tour of the day. Each tour takes up to 48 visitors (24 pax per bus). I chose to stay a night at Drogheda so I can do a quick 15mins drive to Bru na Boinne to do the first tour. Tickets are stamped with the tour time and were issued on a first come first served basis. You must go to the visitor center car park to obtain the tickets and to start the tour. Do not got directly to either sites. The Newgrange site allows you to walk into the passage tomb and also around it. The Knowth site does not allow you to walk into passage tomb and the reason given was that the passage was damaged and therefore unsafe. However, you can go into a small room near the entrance to view a short video of the site. You can also climb the stairs to the top of Knowth for a panoramic view of the surroundings. There are also several smaller mounds at Knowth. Hard to say which is a better site to visit but both were great!
