Episode 166 - Mythic Places - Iconic Ireland - Newgrange And Aenghus Óg

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales Podcast.

This series, we’re taking a look at some of the most iconic locations in Ireland, and the stories and myths attached to them.

This is the story of one of Ireland best known burial cheers. Newgrange is said to have housed the beloved dead of those that knew Boann and the Dagda well. The Majesty of the place can not be argued with. The winter solstice sunrise miraculously lights up the burial chamber deep below.

This is the story of how Angus Óg, came about staying there for good.

If you know a place with an interesting tale, drop us a line and let us know and it could be featured in one of our Mythic Places stories!
