View of Four Churches Across the River Boyne

Highlight • Viewpoint

Take a moment to follow the skyline across the River Boyne, where St Peter's Church, St Mary's Church, St Laurence's Church, and St James's Church rise gently above the town.

Each church has its own distinct silhouette – from slender spires to sturdier towers. The grouping of these landmarks reflect Drogheda’s historic character. It's worth pausing to take a photo from this side of the river.
