By Car
Tara is up a turn-off to the west of the N3 between Navan and Dublin
For the Vigil site - turn right at the gate and follow the road for about 100 yards until you see tents and a gap in the hedge -thats it !
There is also a new camp at Rath Lugh to keep an eye on Lismullin henge and prevent it being buldozed in the night as the site at Baronstown was -
but it may be best to go to Tara hill first and somebody will help you to find the new camp .
...or ...it is roughly where the compass is on the map below ...

By Public transport
From Dublin - go to the Busaras station ( the main bus station , near to the Customs House , Connolly station etc )
Get a bus to either Kells or Navan and ask to be set off at Tara Cross .
There is nothing much but a bus stop at Tara Cross - walk on a bit in the direction the bus was going and there will be a small sign on the left to Tara ( Teamhair )
Walk up that road - it is about 3/4 mile but there are no turnoffs so you cant get lost .
You will see the Entrance to the Tara site - a Gift shop - a church - a statue of St Patrick and a caravan .
For the Vigil site -turn right at the gate and follow the road around the hill for about 100 yards until on the left you see tents and a gap in the hedge -thats it !
There is a tipi ( pointy tent ) - you cant miss it ; )
The Vigil phone number - 086-1758557
- which is 0035386-1758557 from outside the Republic of Ireland
