The Boyne Valley turns green: St Patrick's Day Parades in Meath and Louth 2023

Here in the Boyne Valley, through Meath and south Louth, St Patrick's Day is special to us. It was right here, on the Hill of Slane where St Patrick lit the pascal fire- bringing Christianity to Ireland. A well-preserved tower is to be found at the Hill of Slane among the ruins of a Franciscan Monastery, dating from 1512, itself built on site of a monastery founded by St. Erc, a follower of St. Patrick. Why not plan a visit to the Boyne Valley this St Patrick's Day weekend.
