Boyne Water

The Boyne Water, also known as the River Boyne, is a river in Ireland known for its historical significance, particularly the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. This battle was a key conflict between the forces of the deposed Catholic King James II and the Protestant King William of Orange, marking an important moment in Irish and British history. The river flows through the ancient landscape of Meath, where many archaeological sites, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Brú na Bóinne, are located. The Boyne also supports local ecosystems and contributes to the region's natural beauty.
