Introducing Drogheda
Surprising Drogheda. There, we wrote them a new slogan. Long dismissed by some, Drogheda is easily the most interesting town north of Dublin. This once fortified town straddling the River Boyne has a clutch of fine old buildings, a handsome cathedral and a riveting museum that offers at least a partial insight into the city’s eventful past, while an ongoing spate of development and a rising population of Dublin commuters have slowly begun to breathe new life into the place.

With its wonderful old pubs, fine restaurants, narrow streets, good transport and numerous sleeping options, Drogheda is an excellent base for exploring the world-class attractions that surround it in the Boyne Valley. Brú na Bóinne is only 7km west.
