There is such a lot to do in Drogheda and in the surrounding areas that we really didn't know where to begin. As one of Ireland's oldest and most historical towns, there is a wealth of history and culture to be explored.
Chartered in 1194 AD by the Norman King John, the history of the town extends further back into the folklore of arrival of the Celts in Ireland.
Known as the "Gateway to the Boyne Valley", Drogheda is associated with an extraordinary number of significant events in the history of Ireland - The Bottle of the Boyne, St Oliver Plunkett, Poynings Law, Cromwell's Giege and the surrender of the Irish Chieftains to the English King.
