Overview of your Londonderry tour:

This enthralling tour explores ancient places that relate to a mythology that has survived for millennia in the Sperrins. With time most of the Sperrins became covered by Bogs that spread across the region in the Bronze Age. In particular parts of the region Bogs became places of ritual offering to the spirits of the underworld. As a tour highlight you will hear the story of why some of these ritual offerings were "human" , and how the bodies of these unfortunates, with time became preserved by the bog. The fascinating story of how these "Bog Bodies" are still being uncovered and the science behind how they are preserved by nature is also recounted. You will also visit stone tombs, ritual stone rows and hear the story of how they emerged from the bogs during the last two centuries. Returning to Derry City " the Place of Oaks" you will visit sacred trees and fairy trees that hark back to Ireland`s Celtic - Tree Cults.
