A guided journey through 5000 years of people's way of life at the unique archaeological landscape of Newtown Hill with landowners Philip and Daniel Maguire.

Join guides and local farmers Philip and Daniel for a journey through the remarkable archaeological landscape on their farm at Newtown Hill. Along the way, they'll share family stories and local history, highlighting ancient houses, burial sites, and field systems that date across 5,000 years.

The walk concludes at the summit, offering breathtaking panoramic views stretching from Dublin Bay to the Wicklow Mountains. The walk is about 2 kilometres in distance with 8-10 stops of several minutes along the way so a moderate level of fitness is required
