It explains the troubles of Northern Ireland and why it is celebrated each year on July 12th by the Loyalist community.
It was a battle that would eventually lead to displacement of Irish Celts and their culture throughout the Island of Ireland. It was also a battle for the Throne of England between the catholic King James II and the Protestant King of Holland (William of Orange).

The 5.5-metre Muiredach's High Cross is regarded as the finest high cross in the whole of Ireland. It features Biblical Carvings from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.

Incredible tour to Bru na Boinne and Monasterboice. Kevin was an excellent driver/guide with great humour. The megalithic sites were breathtaking and the visitor centre was very well designed and informative with an excellent cafe. Our guides at the sites were both archaeologists with extensive knowledge of the sites. My only gripe was that we didn’t have enough time at the Battle of the Boyne site. It should either be eliminated from the tour or given more time to explore.

Our tour guide Matt, was fantastic. Learning about these Neolithic structures and then experiencing them in person was truly amazing. The visitor center at Newgrange is excellent. The two Abbeys we visited next were also interesting, especially the high crosses at Monasterboices abbey. It was a great day trip that we will always remember!
