Hiking
Millmount Fort in Drogheda was a great surprise. The short climb to the top rewards you with sweeping views over the River Boyne and the town... perfect for a quick breather and some photos. The fort itself is packed with history, from Norman times to the Irish Civil War, and the small museum inside offers a good mix of local artifacts. If you're in Drogheda and enjoy combining a bit of walking with history and scenery, Millmount is well worth the visit.
