Historic Obelisk Bridge near Drogheda

The Boyne Obelisk, or King William's Obelisk, may be long gone but its history is still alive and kicking as you cycle around the Oldbridge area. It once stood as a striking monument in a strategic location near the Boyne to commemorate the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, where King William III won the decisive battle for his supporters. Today, only the memory of the obelisk remains, but the landscape itself tells you the story in its own way. The gently winding roads along the river invite you to take your time to absorb the atmosphere. The nearby bridge and river banks provide a tranquil setting that contrasts with the dramatic events of the past. A visit here is not only a historical look back, but also a lovely addition to your cycling tour.

Newgrange was built by a farming community that prospered on the fertile soils of the Boyne Valley. Knowth and Dowth are similar mounds that, along with Newgrange, have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Archaeologists classified Newgrange as a passage tomb, but today Newgrange is recognized as much more than a passage tomb. The term "ancient temple" is more accurate, a place of astrological, spiritual, religious and ceremonial significance, just as today's cathedrals are places of prestige and worship where dignitaries can be laid to rest. Newgrange is a large kidney-shaped mound covering an area of over an acre, supported at the base by 97 kerbstones, some of which are richly decorated with megalithic art. The 19 m (62 ft) long inner passage leads to a cruciform chamber with a corbelled roof. The amount of time and effort that went into building Newgrange suggests a well-organized society with specialized groups responsible for different aspects of construction. Newgrange is part of a complex of monuments built along a bend in the River Boyne, commonly known as Brú na Bóinne. The other two main monuments are Knowth (the largest) and Dowth, but there are up to 35 smaller mounds throughout the area. (Source: https://www.newgrange.com/)

interesting @Christian427: I was there with a friend in 1995. We were even able to spend the night on the lawn next door. A great experience with a couple and in the morning after breakfast together we went on a tour of Newgrange. Today we were there: a mega visitor center, but with (entrance fee: 5 euros) it was quite OK and really well prepared. However, we were on our way back to Dublin and the next bus didn't leave for 1.5 hours later. It would not be possible to visit from the inside, only from the outside (according to the lady at the ticket office). The shuttle bus tour would be just over 50 minutes and with a stopover around 2 hours (but can only be booked online in advance). You don't have to/can't book the visitor center alone online.

I was in Newgrange and Knoth in 1994. Back then, I could drive to Newgrange, park my bike right at the entrance to the complex and buy a ticket in a small house for little money - it was that simple. By 2017, that was no longer possible - just drive there. There was a visitor center, located south of Newgrange - with a lot of admission and bus transfer to Newgrange and Knoth. It is possible to book just Newgrange or just Knoth - or both together. Everything was planned out - small groups and a tour every half hour... I got a sticker on my jacket - it told me when it was my turn and which bus I had to get on... The same thing happened in Newgrange - small groups - clearly organized who was next when... The bus transfer to Knoth too - my group was given 10 minutes to walk around the complex on their own - the bus then drove on. Knoth turned out great - the whole thing has been beautifully restored! In 1994, Knoth was still a construction site - there was nothing to see there. Unfortunately, there was only a short time to walk around on my own here - the bus was already ready for the return trip to the visitor center... But it was nice! I'll definitely come back again!

The World Heritage Property of Brú na Bóinne is Ireland’s richest archaeological landscape and is situated within a bend in the River Boyne. Brú na Bóinne is famous for the spectacular prehistoric passage tombs of Knowth, Newgrange and Dowth which were built circa 3200BC. These ceremonial structures are among the most important Neolithic sites in the world and contain the largest collection of megalithic art in Western Europe.
