Adventure & Activity

It was a summer like no other here in the Boyne Valley. All our hospitality and tourism providers were excited to reopen from last June and happy to see the return of domestic tourism to our region. As well as welcoming new and returning visitors to the birthplace of Ireland’s Ancient East, we also welcomed a few special visitors who very kindly spread the word of the Boyne Valley far and wide across the Country. Here is a roundup of their trips, where they stayed and visited and all the fantastic activities, they took part in. 

We all wish the summer was just a little bit longer this year. There is so much exploring and fun to catch up on after almost 18 months of restrictions. Fear not- the Boyne Valley is here with some great last-minute packages for you and the family to enjoy before the kids head back to school! There is always time for one last holiday! So, lets back the bags and fit in a last-minute getaway break with the family this summer.
