'Step back in time'

The remarkable neolithic site at Céide Fields in County Mayo, Ireland,

contains the oldest known stone-walled fields in the world – dating

back nearly 6,000 years.

Céide Fields overlooks the mighty Atlantic Ocean which gently

laps (or vigorously pounds …. depending on the weather!) up against

the cliffs below. The landscape itself has been forged from the

dramatic upheaval and movement of the earths crust over

 millions of years.

The soil at Céide Fields has been constantly subjected to the conflicts

of the weather. The warm Gulf Stream comes up past the American

continent between Ireland and Iceland. In the opposite direction,

cold deep waters flow south from the icey Arctic Ocean. The

combination of all these factors has resulted in the wild beauty and

uniqueness of this region in County Mayo, Ireland.

We at Guided Tours will take your family on an educational

adventure and you will even build a stone wall of your own. Lots of

surprises in store.
