Newgrange and The Boyne Valley Tour
Overview
The Boyne Valley “the heartland of the Irish Nation” and the location of Ireland’s famous Battle of the Boyne, the ancient capital at Tara along with the ancient passage grave tombs of Newgrange at Bru na Boinne World Heritage Site and also the finely carved High Crosses of Monsterboice and the famous Battle of The Boyne Site.
Entrance tickets to enter the Newgrange Chamber are available 30 days in advance by arrangement. At the Battle of The Boyne Site tickets can be purchased on arrival.
This favorite tour of mine (I spent years managing a major heritage property in the valley and was part of drafting the World Heritage Site Management Plan) explores Ireland’s ancient turbulent history. Let me help you see the very best the valley offers in a short time while telling you lots of stories about its rich heritage.
