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.

Most famous for its Celtic High Crosses, three crosses dating from the 10th century and form part of a scriptural group.
