Walking Rathcroghan: Ireland’s Ancient Royal Site

An old royal place in Europe has a new walking path for visitors. This path lets people easily see ancient sites, like a cave linked to Halloween.

This land looks like simple farmland with grass and animals. But close up, you see many old circular earthworks and burial mounds.

This was a very old and big capital for a part of Ireland. The area holds over 200 old things, like strong forts and carved stones.

One deep passage goes into the earth, which is very mysterious. People call it a "Gate to another world" and say it inspired Halloween.

An old cave nearby was home to a powerful spirit, they believed. When the spirit came out, people dressed up so it would not take them.
