Newgrange, the Hill of Slane, Monasterboice's High Crosses, and Mellifont Abbey.
A private day tour taking in Newgrange, the Hill of Slane, Monasterboice's High Crosses, and Mellifont Abbey - Ireland's first Cistercian monastery.
This tour takes you back over 5,000 years into Ireland's ancient past, traveling in a private vehicle between stops - Newgrange (UNESCO), the Hill of Slane (where St. Patrick lit the Paschal Fire), Monasterboice's High Crosses, and Mellifont Abbey, Ireland's first Cistercian monastery.
A popular starting point — every Voyzo itinerary is fully customizable, so we'll shape the order and stops around your group.
Private pickup from your hotel or accommodation in central Dublin, in a private vehicle, with return drop-off at the end of the day.
Real, remarkably preserved medieval Celtic high crosses, a genuine distinct stop.
Ireland's first Cistercian monastery, founded 1142 - a real site most Boyne Valley tours skip.
Back to your hotel, home, or the airport — whenever your day wraps up.
A private day tour taking in Newgrange, the Hill of Slane, Monasterboice's High Crosses, and Mellifont Abbey - Ireland's first Cistercian monastery. This tour takes you back over 5,000 years into Ireland's ancient past, traveling in a private vehicle between stops - Newgrange (UNESCO), the Hill of Slane (where St. Patrick lit the Paschal Fire), Monasterboice's High Crosses, and Mellifont Abbey, Ireland's first Cistercian monastery.
Monasterboice, founded in the 6th century by St. Buite, holds what's widely considered the finest high cross in Ireland: St. Muiredach's Cross, a single carved monolith roughly 5 metres tall, standing near the graveyard entrance alongside a round tower that reaches 30.5 metres even without its original conical cap.
Mellifont Abbey, the tour's other medieval stop, was founded in 1142 on the orders of St. Malachy, Archbishop of Armagh - the first Cistercian monastery built in Ireland, and the model other Cistercian houses across the country were built to follow, with its formal architectural style imported directly from the order's abbeys in France.
Between the two sits the Hill of Slane, where tradition holds that St. Patrick lit a Paschal fire on Easter Eve in 433 AD in open defiance of a royal law reserving all ceremonial fires for the High King at Tara - a story that, true or embellished over sixteen centuries of retelling, still marks the spot where the ruins of a later Franciscan monastery now stand.
All of this sits alongside Newgrange itself, the genuinely 5,000-plus-year-old passage tomb at the heart of the Boyne Valley - giving this particular tour a run of medieval and early-Christian sites that most standard Newgrange day trips skip entirely.
