Newgrange is the most famous of the megalithic passage tombs that lie along a squiggly section of the Boyne River in County Meath north of Dublin, Ireland. Newgrange is over 5000 years old--older than Stonehenge. You can visit inside, but you can't take pictures of the interior.
Newgrange, as well as the nearby Hill of Tara, are easily done as a daytrip from Dublin. You can get tickets for the tour at any tourist office in Dublin. Newgrange is part of a Viator Valley of the Kings Tour Newgrange and Monasterboice from Dublin Tour (book direct) that starts in Dublin.
