Bru na Boinne is a trio of prehistoric passage graves, the most famous being Newgrange, scattered over a small area on the banks of the River Boyne. Passage graves are huge mounds built over a tomb, similar in concept I suppose to the Pyramids, although these graves are several hundred years older!
The complex is extremely popular and there is a daily limit on the number of visitors allowed to see the graves, so it's advisable to arrive at the Visitor's Centre as early as possible. From there visitors are shuttled around by bus. There are various ticket combinations available, depending which of the graves you want to see.
The Visitor's Centre itself is a modern building displaying information about how and why the graves were built. Leave a Comment
Directions: Just outside Drogheda, you will need to take a bus if you don't have your own transport.
