This ancient and historic town is on the River Boyne that separates the counties Louth and Meath at this point. It is a renowned industrial centre too. Despite Drogheda being 4 miles away from the coast, it is a notable port with a fine harbour formed at the tidal mouth of River Boyne. This town is home to Oliver Plunkett’s head and one of Ireland’s best Samba bands. This bustling town full of young people is still rich in ancient history. McPheals Pub is worth visiting for some lively crack and a guaranteed good night out - Gerry Larkin is indispensable if you enjoy excellent live acoustic music, dont forget the summer festival, Samba.
