The Battle of the Boyne between King William III and his father-in-law, King James II, was fought on 1 July 1690 (11 July according to our modern calendar). Both kings commanded their armies in person, 36,000 on the Williamite side and 25,000 on the Jacobite side - the largest number of troops ever deployed on an Irish battlefield. At stake were the British throne, French dominance in Europe and power in Ireland. The Battle of the Boyne Visitor Centre is located in the recently restored 18th century Oldbridge House, which is on the battlesite. There is free access to the battlesite, parklands and the formal gardens.

Drimnagh Castle was, until 1954 one of the oldest continually inhabited Castles in Ireland and is an outstanding example of an old feudal stronghold. It is the only Irish castle still to be surrounded by a flooded moat. The castle, built of local grey limestone, consists of a restored Great Hall and medieval undercroft, a tall battlement tower with lookout posts and other separate buildings including stables, old coach house, dairy and folly tower. One of the most attractive aspects of Drimnagh Castle is the garden - a formal 17th Century Par-terre layout.
