Ireland’s Tracks and Trails

Ireland’s Tracks and Trails Discover Ireland’s breathtaking landscape on the most spectacular tracks and trails in the country

18/12/2025

For over 5,000 years, the Winter Solstice, has marked a turning point in Ireland ✨
On December 21st, the shortest day of the year, light returns and we celebrate a moment of renewal, rebirth and hope 🌱

Long before modern tools or written records, our ancestors came together to build Newgrange, aligning stone and Mother Nature with extraordinary precision.

And each year on one special day, the sunrise illuminates the heart of this ancient monument, exactly as its creators intended.

A monument built for the sun ☀️
What do you think it meant to those who built it?

Everyone here at Tracks and Trails feels the great loss of Manchán Magan. We were lucky enough to work with Manchán on two episodes of Tracks & Trails over the years and his deep love for the landscape, the language and the wild beauty of this country, left a lasting impression.
This short clip captures just a glimpse of his wonderful enthusiasm and the quiet wisdom he carried for the world around him.
We have no doubt his legacy will live on in the trails he walked and the stories he told.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
