The Boyne Valley is located in the North East of Ireland just 20 minutes north of Dublin International airport or 1 and a half hours south of Belfast International airport.  It extends across all of Co Meath and the southern region of Co Louth and  is situated at the hub of four major motorways- the M1, M2, M3 and M4. The area is also convenient to ferry ports in Dublin and Belfast and has regular train services between both of these cities. With many well-serviced bus routes from Dublin, planning your visit to the Boyne Valley means that you have flexibility and freedom to just go with the flow. Heritage sites are dotted across the landscape, often close to the rivers Boyne and Blackwater.
