30 Folkways & Ritual Landscapes

Folkways & Ritual Landscapes

Explore ancient ritual sites and habitats in the Derg Valley with a qualified landscape guide and ecologist.

Join Martin Bradley on a visit to sites that were sacred in Bronze and Iron Age Ireland; from the tombs and standing stones, to the quaking bogs and other places of powerful magic. You’ll visit sacred wells, whose waters would protect you from harm and ill health, and hear about bog bodies- human bodies which have been mummified by the habitats that they have lain in for thousands of years. The preservation of these bodies happened naturally, but the way in which these people met their death did not. Hearing Martin relate stories of deliberate injury and ritual human sacrifice may make you shiver, but they’re certain to exert a powerful force on your imagination too.
