Battle of the Boyne is commemorated in this beautiful visitor centre location near the site of the Battle in Drogheda. Stroll through historical exhibitions in Oldbridge House and learn how the battle was fought on that fateful day in 1690 between King James and King William.

At stake were the British throne, French Dominance in Europe and religious power in Ireland. The battle has had implications on Irish history every since.  For military historians, the visitor centre is an information treasure trove and provides an insight into the strategy and tactics of the day. William had 36,000 men and James had 25,000 – the largest number of troops ever deployed on an Irish battlefield.

Families can enjoy pleasant strolls along landscaped walkways and gardens and refreshments are available in the on site cafe. The centre is host to numerous events each year including the annual Irish Wolfhound walk.
