Dunboyne Dunboyne meaning “Buinne’s stronghold,” is a small town in County Meath, Ireland, just west of Dublin. The town of Dunboyne was settled in the Middle Ages. It was the home of many rebels during the 1798 rebellion against the British rule. Amongst its lush green hills, farmlands and medieval bridges sits the Dunboyne Castle built for the Lords of Dunboyne. This historical architecture became a fine Georgian house and was turned into a convent. It currently functions as a hotel. When visiting Dunboyne, popular attractions include: the megalithic passage tombs of Newgrange and Knowth, an archaeological heritage of the Boyne Valley; the Kells High Crosses decorated with biblical scenes and revered as the country’s most important crosses; King John's Castle built in 1220, the largest and well preserved Norman Castle in Ireland, used as the location for filming Braveheart; and the Newgrange Open Farm in Clane, a family-friendly farm with its own “museum-like” displays of vintage machines. |
