This year on 7th December 2020, we are beginning the commemoration of the 1500th year’s anniversary of the birth of one of Ireland’s patron saints, Colmcille.
Discover Boyne Valley would like to explore the saint’s connection with this part of the country and particularly the town of Kells in County Meath.
The Winter Solstice at Newgrange is going online this year, watch the video below!

"In the north-east of Ireland, not far from Dublin, stretches a strange valley. An astonishing place where the spirits of the Ancient East seem to have settled for a long time." - https://lavieestbellemag.com/voyages/irlande-flaneries-dans-la-boyne-valley-la-vallee-des-mysteres/
Laurie Medina, a French reporter has recently published a fantastic video for the French television network TV5Monde, based on a visit to the Boyne Valley.
High kings and high crosses, rollercoasters and razor clams, beaches and battlefields, garden trails and greenways - I love a holiday that caters for everyone in the family. Make it a short drive from home and it's even better: 30 minutes from Dublin? Yes, please.
