The Gyreum, a replication of an hundred foot wide wooden ring fort
The Gyreum, a magnificent replication of an hundred foot wide wooden ring fort is located above the shores of Lough Arrow in rural Sligo. It is itself a new wonder at the junction of some ancient ley lines.
Its 360 degree views look out over 5 counties and it is aligned along three vital solar events. The south east faces the dawn winter solstice over Moytura where the mythic battle between light and dark took place way back. The south west is centred along the winter dusk solstice at Carrowkeel. The north west faces the summer sunset solstice behind Queen Maeve’s supposed tomb atop Knocknarae. The Gyreum mimics Maeve’s tomb, its Christmas pudding shape snug and discreet as a teletubby dwelling on its south facing hill.
An absurd giant halfdoor entranceway leads into the Gyreum’s main attraction its Great Round Hall, a welcoming venue for dancing, yoga, group encounters, sleepathons, weddings, baptisms, socials of all kinds and manners. The Gyr-eum comes from the Greek for round gyr which forms the basis of words such as gyrate.
Around and about is perfect for cycling, hiking, horse riding and angling holidays or doing nothing. Visit in the winter too when the skies and roads are clearer, the stars nearer and the locals cheerier.
The Gyreum can sleep at least twenty people with linen and bedding provided. On demand we can arrange catering but self-catering is also welcome. While the Gyreum is mostly aimed at groups we welcome stragglers with open arms.
