  • Discover Boyne Valley 2021-2022 Birthplace of Ireland’S Ancient East
    FREE HOLIDAY GUIDE & MAP Discover Boyne Valley 2021-2022 Birthplace of Ireland’s Ancient East discoverboynevalley.ie “The Boyne is not a showy river. It rises in County Kildare and flows gently and majestically through County Meath and joins the sea at Drogheda in County Louth some 112 kilometres later. It has none of the razzmatazz of its sister, the Shannon. It’s neither the longest river in Ireland, nor does it have the greatest flow. What is does have, and by the gallon, is history. In fact, the Boyne Valley is like a time capsule. Travel along it and you travel through millennia of Irish history, from passage tombs that pre-date the Pyramids, to the Hill of Tara, seat of the High Kings of Ireland, all the way to the home of the First World War poet Francis Ledwidge in Slane. It’s the Irish equivalent of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. And you can choose to explore it by car, bicycle, kayak, or by strolling along its banks and the towpaths of the navigation canals that run alongside from Navan to Oldbridge.” Frances Power - Editor, Cara, the Aer Lingus inflight magazine - Boyne Valley Feature, October/November 2014 Pg 68-78 Cara magazine is available online at issuu.com discoverboynevalley.ie Angling 12 Contents The Boyne River 01 Angling 12 Halloween in the Boyne Valley 25 Discover Boyne Valley Flavours 41 Ireland’s Ancient East 03 Horse Racing 13 Easy Access 26 Eating Out 43 Outdoor Activities 05 Golf 15 Where is the Boyne Valley 27 Gastro Pubs and Bars 46 Royal Canal Greenway 06 Adventures & Activities 17 Boyne Valley Drive 29 Craft Distilling & Brewing 48 Walking, Cycling & Paddling 07 Organised and Guided Tours 19 Boyne Valley Drive Sites 31 Where to Stay 49 Boyne Valley Gardens 09 Music, Arts & Culture 21 Towns & Villages 33 The Coast 11 Crafts 23 Itineraries 37 Photography courtesy of: copterview.ie, tel 086 8672339; jennymatthewsphotography.com, tel 087 2451184; perfectstills.com, tel 086 1740454; and irelandscontentpool.com 01 02 Melifont Abbey Knowth, Brú na Bóinne To tell the story of Ireland’s Ancient East we must start at the beginning..

  • Kilsharvan Estate Bellewstown, Co Meath
    KILSHARVAN ESTATE BELLEWSTOWN, CO MEATH KILSHARVAN ESTATE BELLEWSTOWN, DROGHEDA, CO MEATH M1 4.5 km, Julianstown 5 km, Duleek 5 km, Drogheda 8 km, M50 36 km, Dublin Airport 37 km, Dublin City 47 km (All distances approximate) Spectacular Country Estate renovated for 21st Century living and with a convenient situation Kilsharvan House : 5 Reception Rooms, 4 Principal Bedroom Suites, 5 Further Bedrooms Self-Contained 2-Bedroom Apartment or Office Suite Gate Lodge (2 Bedrooms) The Mill with Banqueting Hall, Flax House and Kilsharvan Church Equestrian Yard with Loose Boxes, Stores, Horse Walker, 2 Arenas Outstanding Grounds with Formal Lawns Specimen Trees and Parkland Grazing About 32 hectares/80 acres in total For Sale in 6 lots or as a whole by Private Treaty Historical Note The name Kilsharvan originates from the Irish, Cill Searbhain, meaning “Church of the bitter tongued”, a reference to St John The Baptist. Over the past four centuries, Kilsharvan House has been home to a number of aristocratic and well-known families. In the mid-17th century, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Edward Jans (1627-1628) lived here, however, when William of Orange secured victory at the Battle of the Boyne, he confiscated Kilsharvan House and granted it to the Earl of Anglesey. In 1776 the First Earl of Darnley willed his brother, the Dean of Elphin, Robert Bligh, a fortune of £100,000. With his new-found wealth the Dean of Elphin purchased the Kilsharvan Estate for the reported sum of £6,850. After this, Andrew Armstrong, a Dublin merchant, leased the estate and it was his descendants who later purchased it and built a very successful linen mill business exporting to the Americas.
