This looped trail offers a great mixture of history, green areas and forests. Along the way, there are ten points where people can get their passport stamped.
The starting point of this walk is St. Peter’s Church where people can collect their first stamp. Then the way follows the north side of the river, passing through a forest and then continues on to Mellifont Abbey.
On the way back, the Camino stops in the lovely Tullyallen Village. The Boyne Valley Camino then passes next to the Old Bridge House, crosses the obelisk bridge and continues on the south side of the river which connects to the greenway. To finally end at the starting point: St. Peter’s Church.
