- Orna H1 contributionHad a great time . Mini golf has plenty of variety and different challenges. So Fun !!!
Would definitely recommend as a date day with partner or even with group of friends!Written 27 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was showing a foreign visitor aroud who was fascinated to see the head of St. Oliver Plunkett but I was quietly confident that he'd love rhe Church too once there.
Obviously everyone comes to see the head preserved in a glass jar to the front left as you enter. I remember doing in on a school your when I was about 9 years old! It's macabre but fascinating and they have a very interesting explanatory set of wall panels to rhe side.
The rest of the chirch is besutiful too, though and that's what's often forgotten. The stained glass in particular is very impressive .Written 5 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was out of season so the visitors centre was closed. No matter because there are so many good info display boards dotted about that yiy still get plenty out of your visit
The lavabo was a highlight, where the Monks washed their hands before meals. It's a deceptively large site with so much to see and learn. Beautifully maintained with well kept paths, lots of benches to just sit and contemplate, and as I mentioned loads if info boards.
There's a small free car park at the entrance.
Just a lovely place, so quiet and peaceful in the spring sunshineWritten 14 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We really enjoyed our time here and left feeling really delighted that we had been. There is something so much more inviting about visiting a home rather than a monumentWritten 5 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Martin LKusadasi, Türkiye5 contributionsThe Agustinian church in Drogheda is such a welcoming and open church. The priests there are wonderful. Mass there is such an uplifting experience and if you are lucky to go to the 1.15 mass on a Sunday if the gospel group are singing there are no words to describe how much you feel the presence of GodWritten 19 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Monica&Alex3 contributionsWe really enjoyed to see how skillful are those kids under the age of 14. Great paintings.
In the other hand private art collection by Raphael Hynes was good but we liked most Carey Clarke, brilliant canvas oil landscapes paintings. Thanks to Highlands Gallery for the chance to visit the exhibition.

A most helpful staff, energetic, experienced and very welcoming made our visit a highlight of this Ireland tour for my valued guests
Talking about gin, all its ingredients like juniper, all kind of herbs, flowers and spices.
What a tasting room, wee distillery, and hand production line.
A family business , some 5 years old, run by neighbours and friends of the family.
After starting with gin and vodka, now going into whiskey.
And if the talk, visit and tasting is not enough, you can even join one of the weekend gin schools where you distill your own creation of gin. Wow! Couldn't get any better!Written 13 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jozef196353Drogheda, Ireland16 contributionsSt. Laurence's Gate, which led to the Friary of St Laurence, is widely regarded as one of the finest of its kind in Europe. It consists of two lofty circular towers, connected together by a wall, in which there is an archway. Visitors can appreciate the spectacular dimensions of the mediaeval walls south of the gate at Featherbed Lane.The attraction is worth seeing until today in very good condition.Written 6 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bozeman-DublinTrim, Ireland8,826 contributionsAbsolutely love the monastic site at Monasterboice. Muirdeachs High Cross is magnificent. It features in most Irish school History books and with good reason as it utterly majestic. Very well preserved too considering it's age. The North and West Crosses are also beautiful as is the round tower that dominates the site. The grveyatds and church ruins are so peaceful and serene.
There's a small hut on the way in that was closed on our visit as it's out of season but I'd imagine it may sell souvenirs or even guided tours in summer? There's a decent sized free car park across the road opposite the entrance path and toilet facilities are available.
It's well signposted but it's a bit off the beaten track down tiny back roads. Trust the signs and you'll see the round tower looming as you approach.Written 10 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Only had an opportunity to see it at night from the outside on the way to the train station, but it is so impressive. Would love to return to see more in the future!Written 1 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Charlie M15 contributionsGod be with the days when you could go and you had a great choice of stalls and a good variety to pick from but not anymore the number of people going to the market has dramatically dropped its sad to see but i fear for the market i think its days are numberedWritten 9 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
