Welcome to Drombeg Stone Circle, an ancient site located in the beautiful County Cork region of Ireland. Our establishment combines historical significance, cultural preservation, and fascinating exhibit displays that make for a unique and memorable tourist attraction experience.
The Drombeg Stone Circle, also known as the Druid's Altar, is a prehistoric monument of the Bronze Age, dated back to 1100-800BC. Made up of a ring of 17 standing stones and two portal stones, this unique structure was once believed to be a site for conducting rituals, ceremonies, and possibly even astronomical observations.

We are proud to be a vital part of the local community, and our establishment also serves as a venue for cultural events such as live music performances, outdoor activities, and educational workshops.

Reviews of Drombeg Stone Circle
"It is impressive. You are standing where our ancestors built their sanctuary thousands of years ago and yet lived right next to it. It can be very muddy here, so rubber boots are advisable at least in autumn."
"The roads are quite narrow on route to the Stone Circle, but they offer a few parking spaces. It's a short walking route of approx 180m, the Stone Circle itself is exquisite. Surrounded by breathtaking views, this is definitely something to add to your travel list. Easily accessible to the public and free entry."
"Incredible site.. not much history to learn as it's so old that we can mostly just speculate. But very cool to see and amazing views of the land all the way to the ocean. Roads on the way are very tight and narrow but everyone used caution and it wasn't too long of a drive. Highly recommend!"
"Just go, rain or shine, feel the energy. Be respectful while there, we stepped away to allow others private time close to the stones. Hard to explain if you've not visited a place like it. Read the info posted with drawings while there. It's a bit of a walk if you've trouble getting around but maintained footpath most of the way. We go every time we can while in Cork. We were fortunate to go back on Summer Solstice this time."
"Only 4 stars because it was quite wet and slippy. However, if you love stone circles, you'll not be disappointed here. Steeped in history, Drombeg is worth the visit. Great views from the site as well."
