In our last post, dear readers, we told you about the great place called Carlingford and promised to tell you about the small wonder – ‘Magic Hill’. Even though we were amazed by it, this placed isn’t that well known, even though there aren’t many places like this on the entire Earth. Only 25 countries including Ireland can brag about having ‘magic’ or how they are also sometimes called ‘gravitational hills’. Although some of these countries do have a number of these types of hills.
But we’re still happy that Ireland has a magic hill and that we can test out its magical properties for ourselves. Doing this is very easy. All you have to do is drive a car down to the bottom of the hill, put it on neutral and then turn off the engine.
What happens next will shock you. The car, pushed by some invisible force starts to move uphill, and it moves with speed equivalent to a cars first or second gear.
We aren’t sure if this effect can clearly be seen in our video clips, but in reality the ‘Magic Hill’ does not fail to amaze. In reality the angle of the hill is clearly seen, which means you can see the car clearly travelling uphill with its engine turned off.
Unfortunately, in Ireland, this place isn’t adapted for experiments and isn’t even marked anywhere. Not on maps, not on tourist guides, not on signs or on posters. The narrow piece of road that is located on the ‘Magic Hill’, without proper the road signs does not give an ideal set for filming.
Anyway, we strongly recommend you to visit this amazing place, especially if you live in a country where there aren’t any ‘Magic Hills’. It’s possible to get to this amazing site by travelling along the Dublin-Belfast motorway, drive onto the second exit to Dundalk and as you continue on to Carlingford, drive in the direction of Omeath. When you get to the small village of Jankinstown you can ask the locals where to find the ‘Magic Hill’.

Humans like to believe in miracles, us included. There is nothing bad about this trait and we hope that the Irish tourist organisation (Tourism Ireland) will help out the people that would like to see this ‘marvel’ by advertising the ‘Magic Hill’ and making it more accessible to tourists.
In conclusion to our story about the ‘Magic Hill’ located on the Cooley Peninsula, we would like to say a few words about the fairly small Cooley Mountains and a place called Cooley Point, which goes out into the Irish Sea.
These places are very expressive and beautiful; you can convince yourself by viewing the photo gallery connected to this post. Now we’ll note that these places are great to visit if you’re travelling on Eastern Coast of Ireland.
