The River Boyne

The River Boyne winds through County Meath, and its waters are long associated with fishing. Salmon and trout draw anglers to its pools and runs, and stretches of the river are managed by local clubs and fisheries, so permits and permissions apply and are worth arranging in advance.

Beyond the fishing, the Boyne valley is one of the most storied landscapes in Ireland, with ancient monuments and battle sites along its course. Even a short walk on the bank rewards you with herons, kingfishers and the steady movement of the water.
