#discoverboynevalleygreenway Winter is coming! ❄️ The Boyne Navigation is a series of canals running 31 km roughly parallel to the River Boyne from Oldbridge to Navan in County Meath, in Ireland. The navigation was once used by horse-drawn boats travelling between Navan, Slane and the port of Drogheda; however, is now derelict. The Boyne Navigation branch of the Inland Waterways Association of Ireland have an agreement with An Taisce – The National Trust for Ireland giving it a license to carry out restoration work on the navigation to return it to a usable waterway. #boynevalleygreenway #navan #countymeath #irelandancienteast #discoverireland #visitireland #boynenavigation #boynevalley (at Navan, Meath) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIn8PjcJMxr/?igshid=zbym4j2bucvx

#discoverboynevalleygreenway Would you agree if we say that no trip to Ireland is complete without a visit to Newgrange and the surrounding Boyne Valley?? The majestic burial chamber is older than the pyramids and holds the key to the country’s ancient history.  One of the principle sites among Ireland’s Ancient East tours, the eastern rival to the Wild Atlantic Way, Newgrange is a 5,200-year-old passage tomb built by Stone Age farmers, making it older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza.  An incredible achievement of architecture and engineering, the monument is perfectly aligned with the rising of the sun on the morning of the Winter Solstice, allowing sunlight to flood up the passageway and light up the chamber at its end.   Buy tickets by click on the link bellow: https://heritageireland.ie/places-to-visit/bru-na-boinne-visitor-centre-newgrange-and-knowth/ #boynevalleygreenway #irelandancienteast #boynevalley #visitireland #countylouth #countymeath #worldheritagesites #megalithicstructures #brunaboinne (at Brú na Bóinne) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIVKUhPLJYN/?igshid=8qnornwvg9yz

#discoverboynevalleygreenway Have you visit Bective Abbey? Visit now! No admission fee!! Bective Abbey was founded in 1147 for the Cistercian Order by Murchad O'Maeil- Sheachlainn, King of Meath. It was Ireland's second Cistercian Abbey; a ‘daughter house' to nearby Mellifont. The Order had been founded to recapture the original simplicity of monastic life; this was reflected in their restrained buildings.  Bective became an important monastic settlement. The remains now visible at the Abbey date mainly from the 13th to 15th centuries. They include the church, chapter house and cloister. The cloister ruins are particularly Well-preserved, and feature pointed, gothic arches typical of Cistercian architecture.  The abbey was suppressed following the dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII in1543. The lands were then rented, and the monastery began to be used as a fortified house.  Today, the ruins provide a maze of passageways with dead ends and interrupted staircases, all asking to be explored. Due to the attraction of its medieval ruins, Bective Abbey has been used three times by Hollywood producers: in 1995 for Captain Lightfoot starring Rock Hudson, the 1995 blockbuster Braveheart and most recently in 2020 by Ridley Scott for his medieval epic The Last Duel, starring Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer and Ben Affleck. #bectiveabbey #navan #countymeath #ireland #boynevalleygreenway #oldchurches #filmsets #irelandancienteast #visitforfree (at Bective Abbey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIN4D9Ar4Tm/?igshid=1nurgzoxbvhyr

The River Boyne flows through Meath and Louth on its way to the Irish Sea. Legend tells the Boyne is named after the river goddess Boann, who took the form of a white cow. It might not be the longest river in Ireland but it's certainly the most magical...
