About The Boyne Valley

North of Dublin, in a bend of the River Boyne, Brú na Bóinne is Ireland’s richest archaeological landscape and a World Heritage property, with the passage tombs of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth. The Hill of Tara, the seat of the high kings, and Trim Castle, the largest Anglo-Norman fortification in Ireland, are nearby.
