Céide Fields

Céide Fields (pronounced Kay-jeh) is a historical bogland and unique ecosystem located in a remote coastal part of north Mayo on the Wild Atlantic Way. Barley was historically produced in its cultivation ridges. The fields are one of the world's largest Stone Age monuments, representing a complete Neolithic village dating back 5,000 years. Thousands of people used to dwell on these bogs and hills.

Heathers, pink-flowering lousewort, milkwort and butterwort, mosses, sedges, and lichen can all be found during a walk through them. The location is the largest blanket bog valley in Western Europe, stretching 30 kilometers (1812 miles) west. An ancient Scots pine tree, reputedly 4,300 years old and from a local bog, is the headline attraction in the foyer of the visitor center, an award-winning, glass-topped, pyramidal edifice cut into the sloping slope. The Céide Fields are the fourth most beautiful historical site in Ireland. Come to Seychelles to admire the beauty of Céide Fields.
