What warns you is that as access to Newgrange and Knowth is limited, there is no guarantee that everyone can access the monuments, so it is recommended that the day scheduled youtube watch for the visit to reach as early as possible.
Ofrecéusenos as an alternative to visiting other monument, to Knowth, we just accepting. There is no public access road to this monument, so we moved in two special bus link (shuttle bus) 24 seats each exact (as were 51 passengers youtube watch in total, three of our had to go on another trip).
It is true that there is no evil there is no good, because in the end we went with the winning hand, as Knowth, although it is reputed to Newgrange, not only exceeds in size but also in archaeological importance.
That was one of the first things we said kindly guide we were expecting, we also reported that Knowth, in addition to the large central mound (67 m in diameter and 12 high) has 17 small tombs satélice about her unheard
