Happy Birthday to the Taín Way .40 years old 🥳 and one of the first long distance trails in Ireland . It was time to get 40 Hardy Bucks to walk its 40km traverse of the beautiful Cooley Peninsula over 2 days . Four of the OGs turned up too and we were lucky to have the wonderful Ellie Berry from @tough_soles walk with us . #hike #louth #carlingford #cooley @visitlouthie @boynevalley_trails @irelandsancienteast by @boynevalley_trails

Forty-eight people, one legendary hill, and an afternoon exploring the myths and legends of Tara! 💚

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who joined me today as part of the Boyne Valley Trails September Walking Festival. It was a pleasure to share the stories of this extraordinary place with you.

There is something very special about telling these old stories in the landscape to which they belong – standing on Tara, with its ancient monuments around us and the countryside stretching away into the distance.

Many thanks to Boyne Valley Trails and Love Drogheda for organising the event, and to the Office of Public Works (OPW) for granting permission for our walk and for their continued care of this remarkable heritage site.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the afternoon such a success. Sharing Ireland’s myths and monuments with people is at the heart of what I do, and days like today mean a great deal to me.

Were you with us? I’d love to hear which story or moment stayed with you. 😊

We are already deep into our Boyne Valley Trails September Festival, with many tours taking place over the weekend. The festival continues this week all the way up to the 20th September and we have food tours, sound bathing sessions, Nordic walking, Paddleboarding, An Táín Trail , history and mythology tours and the Boyne Camino!

That's not all there is to do in Drogheda this week however. If you are visiting to take place in our adventures, then we sure to schedule some extra time in Drogheda and catch some of the incredible performances at the @boynetradfest from 18th to 20th September.

Nothing beats coming in from an outdoor adventure to a cosy trad session.

"It takes a community to raise a Camino".

Drogheda has more to celebrate today as we welcomed visitors from Galicia in Spain, as well as the Deputy Spanish Ambassador to Ireland to unveil a Camino Mouteira-a waymarker stone found along the route of the Camino de Santiago, on the waterfront at Scotch Hall. This special gift from the Spanish government to Drogheda points in the direction of Galicia, following an ancient route of pilgrimage and trade that has linked the two areas for centuries.

The Boyne Valley Camino starts in Drogheda and is a 25km loop walk that, when combined with a further 75km in Spain, makes up the Celtic Camino. This Mouteira is decorated with the traditional Camino scallop shell and iconic arrows and will point Camino walkers to Galica, where they can continue their journey.

Congratulations to all the members of the @BoyneValleyCamino @Boyne Valley Walking @boynevalley_trails who worked so hard to bring the Boyne Valley Camino to life for Drogheda.

Buen Camino!
