Drogheda is most notable for its medieval period and to this day the walled town remains one of Ireland's most stunning medieval townscapes. Oliver Cromwell has always suffered from a poor PR image in Ireland and nowhere is this more evident than in Drogheda. For those of you who love “Horrible History” Cromwell's visit to Drogheda in 1649 will be of great interest. It's fair to say he didn't come to view the lovely scenery!
In journeying into Beamore and Kilsharvan you`re following the same paths as figures from every period of Ireland`s history: prehistoric hunters and farmers bound for Brú na Bóinne; St. Patrick and his monks; the Danes; Hugh de Lacy and the Normans; the protagonists of 1641; Oliver Cromwell; stragglers from the Battle of the Boyne in 1690; optimistic United Irishmen at the end of the 1700`s; victims of the Great Famine; idealists of 1916; raiding parties of The Troubles; and local people living everyday lives.
