Winter Solstice In Newgrange Ireland Live Stream Event December 21 at 3.30am EST

[Bad Pink Tink 2.0]

Newgrange Winter Solstice 2025
Newgrange is the best known of the 3 great passage tombs in the Brú na Bóinne complex.
The passage and chamber are aligned in a south-easterly direction, facing the rising sun at the winter solstice for several days around December 21st. A small window-like opening above the doorway known as the roof box allows the light from the midwinter rising sun to penetrate the chamber and dramatically illuminate it. This event can last for up to 17 minutes depending on weather conditions.

I am fortunate that our property is lined up with all the peaks and so close that we can see movement
