    Hiking

    The historic ruins of Monasterboice originate from an early Christian settlement in County Louth, Ireland, north of Drogheda. It was founded in the late 5th century by Saint Buite (who died around 521) and was an important religious center until the nearby Mellifont Abbey was founded by the Cistercians in 1142.
