Welcome to the heart and soul of Drogheda, the vibrant town straddling the boundary of Counties Louth and Meath, nestled along Ireland’s east coast by the River Boyne. We are a local collective, passionate about sharing the stories, heritage, and daily happenings of our beloved Drogheda. Through this blog, we strive to bring to you a slice of life from our hometown, infused with the warmth and wit that characterises the Irish spirit.

Drogheda, with its rich tapestry of history, is one of Ireland’s oldest and most significant towns. Founded over a millennium ago, it’s been a witness to several defining moments in Irish history. From the Battle of the Boyne to the rise of St. Oliver Plunkett, our town’s narrative is interwoven with tales of bravery, sacrifice, and resilience. Through our posts, we aim to retell these stories, not just as historical accounts but as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the people of Drogheda.

But our town isn’t just about the past. Today, Drogheda stands as a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. The winding medieval streets, lined with age-old pubs and artisan shops, converge into modern shopping districts, galleries, and eateries, offering the best of both worlds. Our blog captures this essence, from the echoes of the ancient town bell at St. Peter’s Church to the buzz of the Drogheda Arts Festival.

Being a local, the River Boyne isn’t just a water body for us; it’s the lifeblood of Drogheda. Whether it’s the stories of the fishermen, the scenic walks along its banks, or the Boat Tours, we are deeply connected to this river, and we want to share its beauty and significance with you. We also can’t forget the Boyne Valley, a land of verdant beauty and archaeological wonders. From the ancient passage tombs of Newgrange and Knowth to the serene landscapes, this region is a testament to Ireland’s age-old bond with nature and mysticism.

Our community is the heart of this blog. The people of Drogheda, with their warm smiles, infectious laughter, and innate ability to spin a yarn, are what make this town truly special. We spotlight local heroes, cover community events, and share personal stories that give an intimate glimpse into the lives of the people who call Drogheda home.
