View of Slane Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view of Slane Castle. Built in the 18th Century, it's now famous for the Slane Festival, which draws around 80,000 spectators every year.

Tip by

2.56 km

Here you can see the remnants of an old stone bridge, presumably similar to the many that cross the Boyne. The view of the river is great from here, so it's worth taking a moment to pause and enjoy it.

Boyne Navigation

Highlight • River

Good view of the Boyne Navigation from the foot path. The mini waterfalls are always pleasant to look at as you wander along.
