River Boyne - River Boyne Boat Tour
You will paddle into the serene beauty of the Boyne River on a Neolithic adventure that follows the same route as Ireland’s Stone Age ancestors. Immerse yourself in this natural landscape, and hear the stories that are part of this magical place through Ross Kenny who is a celebrated local boat-builder and storyteller. You will be surrounded by the sounds and sights of nature from native trees, wild plants, and flowers, to birds and wildlife on this tour, and will be provided with period costumes for that extra sense of theatre!
Bohermeen - ‘An Gobha’
In the afternoon we will take you to ‘An Gobha’ an immersive experience of traditional iron age metal forging, demonstrated by Tom King, a local Blacksmith. This experience is delivered with theatre, stories, myth, history, and a bit of ‘craic’. Tom King specialises in the reproduction of early Celtic Ironworks. Here the ancient skill of metal forging is kept alive. Throughout history, blacksmiths were considered somewhat of mythical figures, with the ability to place curses with the help of an anvil and cure the sick. Tom has fascinating stories to tell.
