About Drogheda

Drogheda sits where the River Boyne meets the Irish Sea, about 50 kilometres north of Dublin via the M1 motorway. This port town of 41,000 serves as a handy junction for travellers heading to Sligo, Westport, or Wexford, with frequent rail connections reaching Dublin in 40 minutes. The M1 and R132 handle most traffic, including daily commuters from Trim, Mullingar, and Cavan. You'll find over 30 fast charging stations for electric vehicles scattered about. The Norman-built Millmount Fort still crowns the town from its hilltop perch, giving grand views over the red rooftops and the Boyne's final stretch to the sea.
