The Boyne valley is home to Ireland and one of Europe’s richest megalithic sites. It contains Brú na Boinne which is over 90 significant archeological sites set over a 2500 acre area. It contains Trim Castle, the largest and most original Anglo Normal castle from the late 12th century. It also has the Hill of Tara, the seat of the ancient High Kings. These are the big ticket items. Outside of that you have great little lesser know gems, such as the High Crosses at Monasterboise, Lough Crew Cairns, Kells, The Fourknocks, Bective Abbey, Melifont Abbey, The Hill of Slane. On our tours we like to combine the big ticket items with some of the lesser known ones as well as calling into some of the crafters and small businesses along the way. For example, we can stop in Slane Castle which has its own distillery and a great story. We stop in Boyne Valley Wools owned by farmers Alison and Pat Gogan. They sheer their own rare breed sheep and they use the wool to create some absolutely beautiful garments.
