Crag Cave

Castleisland, County Kerry

A cave discovered by divers in the 1980s.

Crag Cave was explored by divers in 1983, after local people had long known about a spring at its entrance. It is around a million years old, and its stalactites and stalagmites are some of the most impressive in Ireland, including one called the Crystal Gallery.

The Ledger of Lost Britain

The Romans arrived in AD 43. For most people that is where the history of Britain begins. But by the time the legions landed, people had already been living on these islands for thousands of years. They had hunted, farmed, mined flint, dragged stones across the country, raised a hill by hand, and buried their dead in great tombs. They left no written words. What they left was the ground itself. Every place in this book can be visited, or has been dug up, or is in a museum.
