Episode 48:Step into one of Ireland’s most atmospheric and historically rich landscapes in this episode of the Pull Over and Let Me Out Podcast.I’m joined by Daniel Curley, Manager of the Rathcroghan Visitor Centre in Tulsk, County Roscommon, as we explore the incredible story behind Rathcroghan — a lesser-traveled but deeply significant archaeological landscape in the heart of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands.Often overlooked in favor of Ireland’s more famous heritage sites, Rathcroghan is a place where myth and archaeology sit side by side. This ancient royal complex is steeped in legend, linked to Queen Medb and the origins of Samhain, and filled with burial mounds, earthworks, and stories that stretch back thousands of years. It’s the kind of place that rewards slowing down, looking closer, and letting the landscape speak for itself.We talk about what makes this site so important, why it remains relatively unknown to many visitors, and why it absolutely deserves a place on any Hidden Heartlands itinerary for travelers who want to go beyond the usual stops.If you’re drawn to Ireland’s ancient past, hidden gems, and places that still feel powerful and untouched, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.Hit play and explore one of Ireland’s most mysterious landscapes with us.Rathcroghan Visitor Center Website: <a href="https://www.rathcroghan.ie/" rel="nofollow">https://www.rathcroghan.ie/</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rathcroghan/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>Email: <a href="http://info@rathcroghan.ie" rel="nofollow">info@rathcroghan.ie </a>Tel : +353 (0)71 963 9268Ready to start planning your trip to Ireland?
