Boyne Valley Camino

You always wanted to hike a Camino? Before you head to Spain, you can start small with this beauty of a hike along the Boyne. The Boyne Valley Camino is one of the Irish Caminos. This guided hike will bring you along quiet roads, through calm woods and to the lovely village of Tullyallen along the way. The highlight will be the site of Mellifont Abbey, the first Cistercian monastery in Ireland. If you want to hike the Boyne Valley Camino with like-minded people, here is your chance!

Have a look here to see what you can expect. 

​

The hike starts at St. Peter's Church in Drogheda, along the Boyne, on quiet countryside roads and will arrive at Mellifont Abbey after ca. 12 kms. After a break to regain our energy levels, we slowly return to Drogheda via the village of Tullyallen and along the Boyne Greenway. There will be plenty of time for breaks and having some snacks in between.
