Boyne Valley Walking (Dusty, Terry, Pat, Áine, Caoimhe, David) would like to thank our community for their huge support of this project. The kindness of the community, local businesses, local artists, local authorities, local schools, charities and walking groups, local media has helped make the idea of the Boyne Valley Camino become a reality.
The Boyne Valley Camino is a self-guided, 25km looped walk from Drogheda, which forms part of the Celtic Camino series. It was created by the Boyne Valley Walking and Drogheda Walks teams. The walk goes along the Boyne, through beautiful Townley Hall woods, via two OPW sites of Mellifont Abbey and Oldbridge House, through the village of Tullyallen, along the Boyne Canal, and returns to Drogheda along the stunning Boyneside Trail. Official Camino Passports can be used to collect beautiful stamps created by local artists en route. This 25km Boyne Valley Camino can be continued in Galicia by walking the old pilgrim route from A Coruña (the port of landing of pilgrims from Ireland through ages) to Santiago de Compostela (75km) to complete the 100km required to receive an official Compostela.
Please ensure your personal safety while enjoying this Camino. Let someone know where you are going, bring a charged phone, go in company, go in good light, wear hi-viz. Some parts of the trail are shared with vehicles and cyclists so please adhere to the rules of the road. Some areas may be mucky so wear sturdy boots, bring clothes layers, sunscreen and waterproofs for any weather eventuality. Bring food and drinks. Recycle or dispose of any waste correctly. If you encounter an emergency situation, call 999 or 112.
This project is being part-funded the Department of Rural and Community Development through the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme.
