Beneath the wild boglands of North Mayo lies the Céide Fields, covered by a natural blanket bog with its own unique vegetation and wildlife. Consisting of field systems, dwelling areas and megalithic tombs, the Céide Fields is the most extensive Stone Age monument in the world. The stone walled fields, extending over thousands of acres are almost 6,000 years old, the oldest known in the world.
The Visitor Centre has won several awards, including the Gold Medal for architecture. It is located beside some of the most spectacular cliffs and rock formations in Ireland and a viewing platform is positioned on the edge of the 110m-high cliff.
Visitors are advised to wear weather protective clothing and footwear suitable for walking on uneven terrain.
