Get ready to delve into Ireland's history as you make your way from the heart of Dublin to the Boyne Valley and get access to Newgrange Monument. Found in the east of Ireland, the Boyne Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Newgrange. It is without a doubt Ireland's most important historic area, with sites and monuments dating back over 5000 years. Here, you'll unearth the unique stories that have shaped the history of Ireland and its people.

You will visit the Battle of the Boyne Visitor Centre, where you will learn about this 1690 battle, that would, eventually, lead to the displacement of the Irish Gaelic Lords; in the battle also the Catholic King James II and the Protestant King of Holland (William of Orange) faced each other for the Throne of England. The next stop will be Mainistir Bhuithe - “Monastery of Buithe”- the 5th-century monastic site founded by St Buithe. Most famous for its Celtic High Crosses, three crosses dating from the 10th century and form part of a scriptural group.

This is the perfect tour to explore the most famous sites and sounds of East Ireland.

Es wurde wohl etwas umgeplant, aber vom Fahrer/Guide nicht richtig erläutert. In der Beschreibung standen Eintrittspreise für diverse Orte, die wir nicht besucht haben. Angenehm war die kleine Gruppe, merkwürdig der Fahrer, der auf der Hin- und Rückfahrt kein Wort sprach, nur knappe Anweisungen zu Treffpunkten gab und dann auf dem Parkplatz (!) eine halbstündige Geschichtsvorlesung hielt. Viel früher zurück in Dublin als laut Ankündigung erwartet. Knowth und Newgrange sind absolut sehenswert!
