Visiting the 5,000 year-old Loughcrew Cairns is like stepping into another world. The landscape itself conveys a feeling of deep time, where recent religious offerings lie beside artwork carved by unfathomably ancient hands. #archaeology #neolithic #stoneage #ireland #westmeath #irelandsancienteast

A photograph of the Loughcrew Cairns. In the foreground is a cairn of upright stones which lead the eye uphill to a huge cairn of heaped stone on the skyline. The land in between the cairns is striped by lazy beds which are the remnants of pre-Famine potato farming. A cloudy and brooding sky hangs overhead.

A photograph of the view inside the entrance chamber to the main cairn. On the left is a large flat hexagonal stone carved with spiral patterns. Beyond that is a narrow opening into the main chamber of the cairn. A modern steel prop and timbers hold up the lintel.

A photograph looking down near the foot of the carved standing stone from the previous photo. The floor of the cairn's entranceway is paved with gravel. In the foreground is a Saint Bridget's Cross woven out of rushes.

A photograph of the sweeping view from the hilltop at Loughcrew. Des[ote the cloudy sky the scene is bathed in sunlight that illuminates the lush green of rolling hill leading away from the viewer. The grassy hillsides abound with soft mounds and earthworks which hint at ancient archaeological sites. In the background a patchwork of grasslands and forests stretch away as far as the eye can see. Something about this image kindles in you an urge to explore and discover.

Walking the Red Route at Mullaghmeen Forest in Co. Westmeath yesterday. The way the winter sun filtered through Ireland's largest planted beech forest was magical. ☀️🌳 #photography #EastCoastKin #TeamPixel #Mullaghmeen #Westmeath #ForestWalk #IrishNature #Woodland #Wanderlust #Ireland

A peaceful forest scene bathed in bright, dappled sunlight. Tall, dark tree trunks frame the foreground, their bark covered in patches of vibrant green moss. Bare winter branches reach up towards a glowing sun, casting long shadows across the uneven woodland floor. The ground is carpeted in thick moss and scattered with fallen branches. The mood is serene and atmospheric, capturing the quiet magic of a sunlit woods.

Quiet moments by the stone pond at Belvedere House, County Westmeath. Water lilies and hints of early autumn colour, tucked away from the world. buff.ly/jMqgTMd #photography #Landscape #Botany #IrishGardens #Westmeath

A wide shot of a stone basin pond filled with floating lily pads in various shades of deep green and golden yellow. In the centre of the pool, a weathered dark stone fountain rises with an ornamental pedestal, surrounded by tall bamboo stalks, shrubs, and lush woodland foliage. Natural daylight illuminates the garden, casting soft reflections and creating a quiet, atmospheric garden sanctuary.
