At the seat of the High Kings of Tara is a spot known as the Fairy Tree. The Hill of Tara has been an important and mystic site in Ireland since ancient times and it still attracts people looking for a little magic in their lives. The Fairy Tree is said to make you wishes come true if you leave a token for the Fairie folk.

Find the Fairy Tree (you'll need to walk past the mounds, look for a tree standing a little on it's own on a ridge, decked out in ribbons and charms) When you find the tree, stand facing it so that you can look back at the mounds. Look for the spot where coin offerings are left, behind a rock under the roots is your first box.

Next walk along the ridge, back toward the parking lot, until you have passed two more trees. After you have passed the second tree, turn back and face the Fairy Tree, then look at the tree you have just passed. A hollow in the tree sits waist high and deep inside is your second box (this one is in a bag rather than a hard container)

Continue on along the ridge until you have gone three additional trees. When you reach this tree, you will find a good spot to sit down at it's roots and gaze up at the seat of the king, and down at his domain. This tree grows on a flat rock that makes a ledge. Under the ledge, you will find the third box.

Your final box and the book to leave your mark is next. Stand up and look back at the Fairy Tree again, you will now notice an old, low rock wall. Walk towards the wall and find a large bramble growing on it. To the right of the brambles you will find, imbedded in the wall, the symbol of another religion deeply entrenched in Irish history. At her feet are two largish rocks that can be pulled away, the box lies beneath.


The Hill of Tara is a sacred spot, please be careful in taking and replacing these boxes so that they remain well hidden. Enjoy your journies in Ireland, we have cherished ours. Special thanks to Kreepy Kelli who made these beautiful stamps for us to place. If you visit Ireland, please plan to place a box as well as find one. Thanks

Happy Hunting!
