Welcome to the Boyne Valley Birthplace of Ireland’s Ancient East Loughcrew Cairns “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 Contents Ireland’s Ancient East 05 Walking & Cycling 19 Where is the Boyne Valley 07 Boyne Valley Garden Trail 21 Adventures & Activities 09 Boyne Valley Drive 23 Guided Tours 12 Boyne Valley Drive Map 25 Music, Arts & Culture 13 Boyne Valley Drive Sites 27 Festivals & Events 15 Towns and Villages 29 Spirits of Meath 17 03 Angling 33 Horse Racing 35 Golf 37 Crafts 39 Where to Stay 43 This brochure is printed by Meath Tourism Ltd., Co.

  • 1.1 Employment Sectors
    1.1 EMPLOYMENT SECTORS To realise the economic potential of the Gateway and identified strategic employment centres, the RPGs indicates that sectoral strengths need be developed and promoted. In this regard, a number of thematic development areas have been identified, the core of which are pivoted around the main growth settlements. Food, Tourism, Services, Manufacturing and Agriculture appear as the primary sectors being proffered for Meath noting that Life Sciences, ICT and Services are proffered along the M4 corridor to the south and Aviation and Logistics to the M1 Corridor to the east. However, Ireland’s top 2 exports in 2010, medical and pharmaceutical products and organic chemicals, accounted for 59% of merchandise exports by commodity group. It is considered, for example, that Navan should be promoted for medical products noting the success of Welch Allyn in particular. An analysis has been carried out by the Planning Department which examined the individual employment sectors which are presently in the county and identified certain sectoral convergences (Appendix A). This basis of this analysis was the 2011 commercial rates levied against individual premises (top 120 rated commercial premises). The analysis excluded hotels, retail, public utilities public administration (Meath County Council, OPW Trim and other decentralized Government Departments) along with the HSE NE, which includes Navan Hospital. The findings of this analysis were as follows: • Financial Services – Navan & Drogheda (essentially IDA Business Parks & Southgate Centre). • Industrial Offices / Call Centres / Headquarters – Navan, Bracetown (Clonee) & Duleek. • Food and Meath Processing – Navan, Clonee and various rural locations throughout county. • Manufacturing – Oldcastle and Kells would have a particular concentrations noting that a number of those with addresses in Oldcastle are in the surrounding rural area.

Indeed its siting is possibly determined by it being a fording point on this river, which is a major tributary of the Boyne. The area map of the Boyne and Liffey catchment area (Fig. 1) suggests that all major towns in Meath are associated with their local river system. Trim and Navan both retain medieval stone bridges. O'Keefe and Simington quote the Statute Rolls of Henry VI c.1463 which states that 'divers customs to be levied on the towne of Trim, Naas, Navan, Athboy, Kells and Fore and in the franchises of said towns for the murage, pavage and repair of bridges of the said towns are greatly strengthened', suggesting that there was a bridge in Athboy at that time1 Athboy lies at Figure 1 The Boyne catchment showing the main tributaries and the western end of important towns.
