What to expect

Embark on a tour through the Boyne Valley, Meath, to explore Loughcrew's Neolithic tombs, the Iron Age Hill of Tara, the 7th-century Christian monastery at Fore Abbey, and Trim's Anglo-Norman castle.

First, visit the Hill of Tara, the sacred site of ancient Irish monarchs. Learn about its history as you take in stunning views of the land, including the Coronation Stone and An Forradh monument. Experience the 5,000-year-old heritage of this Boyne Valley landmark.

The tour then continues to Trim Castle, Ireland's largest Anglo-Norman fortress. Dating back to the 13th century, it boasts a massive three-story keep and expansive gardens. Immerse yourself in the medieval ambiance of this historic site. Your next stop is Loughcrew, where Neolithic passage tombs with intricate rock art await. These tombs, over 5,000 years old, offer a glimpse into ancient Ireland.

In the afternoon, conclude your journey at Fore Distillery and Fore Abbey, last one founded by Saint Fechin in the 7th century. Despite being destroyed twelve times, it once housed 300 monks. Explore the ruins, including Saint Fechin's Church, dating back to 900 AD.
