Scholars Townhouse Hotel, Drogheda - Area Information

Founded by the Norse in 911, Drogheda became one of their most important strongholds in Ireland, so much so that the town played host to Parliaments in the Middle Ages. The town's more recent historic attributes are connected Oliver Cromwell in the 1680's, the Battle of the Boyne and subsequent surrender to King William. The medieval architecture in the town still remains prominent today. Churches, towers, abbeys and forts dating back to 800 years are closely situated. In the surrounding countryside of the Boyne Valley the history is even more extraordinary. Visit the Stone Age architecture of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth. These famous ancient burial chambers are older than the pyramids of Egypt and are the embodiment of a lost era in Irish history.
