The magical sites of Celtic Ireland celebrate a vibrant blend of early Christian and pagan belief dating back to a time when worship in the oak groves went hand-in-hand with worship in the churches.

Through well-researched text and fascinating photographs, this book shows how these sacred places retain their unique atmosphere. The special places the book explores include holy wells, monasteries, nunneries, inscribed stones and stone carvings, sheela-na-gigs and round towers, portraying the Celtic affinity with nature and the divine.
