The Boyne Valley is a place of history, myths and legends. This rich valley is home to a range of heritage sites and monuments; sites like Tara, Newgrange, Kells and the Battle of the Boyne site, which are well known nationally and internationally. With a landscape of passage tombs, sacred hills, monastic ruins, bloody battlefields and heritage towns it is no wonder that the Boyne Valley is considered to be the birthplace of Ireland’s Ancient East. The legends, stories and history of these places have been brought together by celebrated local historian and guide Noel French in his new volume Discovering the Boyne Valley.
