点评:Aside from a small hiccup in securing my booking, this was a wonderful trip! I'd wanted to see Newgrange since I was a child, and I was lucky to have gorgeous weather for this first visit. Mary herself kept up an engaging and informative commentary throughout the drive out to our first stop at the Hill of Tara, but had to leave us before the next leg (hope all went well!). Funnily enough, our next guide at the Knowth stop was another Mary, who was also very warm and welcoming as she took us around the site.
Then it was on to Newgrange itself, where I believe our last guide was called John (?), and we were taken inside the monument itself to see a demonstration of the light effect of the solstice, which I hadn't realised was possible outside of the natural times - a nice idea for those who are unable to visit on those specific dates.
If this is your first visit, I would definitely recommend this tour company so that you arrive fully informed about what you're going to see. The Visitor's Centre at Newgrange is especially lovely, set in beautiful countryside and with an excellent interactive exhibit of its own before you head out to the site itself.
翻译:除了预订时遇到了一点小插曲,这次旅行真是太棒了!我从小就想去纽格莱奇,这次去真是幸运,天气格外晴朗。玛丽一路为我们讲解,内容生动有趣,信息丰富,直到我们到达第一站塔拉山。可惜的是,她不得不提前离开,没能带我们去下一站(希望一切顺利!)。巧的是,我们在诺斯遗址的下一位导游也是玛丽,她热情友好地带领我们参观了遗址。
之后我们前往纽格莱奇,我记得最后一位导游好像叫约翰(?)。我们进入遗址内部,观看了冬至日光效应的演示。我之前并不知道在自然时间之外也能看到这种景象——对于那些无法在特定日期参观的人来说,这真是一个不错的选择。
如果你是第一次去,我强烈推荐这家旅行社,这样你就能充分了解即将参观的内容。纽格莱奇游客中心尤其令人喜爱,坐落在美丽的乡村之中,中心内设有精彩的互动展览,供游客在前往遗址本身之前参观。
