Day 26 (Louth) – Exploring the medieval town of Drogheda
Day 26 is dedicated to Drogheda – one of the oldest towns in Ireland.
We’ve created a detailed guide to Drogheda within our guide to Louth.
To avoid repeating what’s already been written, I’m going to direct you here where you’ll find 15+ things to do in Drogheda (including advice on where to eat and where to head for a drink).
Here’s a look at just some of the places you’ll visit during day 26 in Drogheda

Hi Keith Thank you so much for all the work you have done on The Irish Road Trip. I have used much of it to plan my 7 week trip to Ireland in 2024. It has been invaluable :)

G’day Keith-thanks for your trip. My wife and I will be over there in late April and most of May (about a month in total before heading to Scotland for a couple of weeks). I think I’ll be using your trip (which is great (as also is the additional info at the bottom)) as the basis for ours, however, I would like to do abit more of the inland (like a figure eight of the island). Do you have any suggestions?

Hey Mick,
Is there anywhere in particular you have in mind with the inland section?
Cheers,
Keith

A big thank you for all of the time and hard work you have put into this blog. Great information. I don't think we can keep up with your pace but will certainly take up many of your suggestions.

Good day Keith,

Thank you

Thanks Isabell!
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply!
I've tried to get this converted to PDF on a number of occasions, but the result is very messy due to the volume of photos in it.
If there's any specific questions that I can help with, please fire them on and I'll do my best to answer them.

First retirement trip. Ireland for a month! Go big or go home. So excited to start this new chapter in our lives - and to hit the roads of Ireland. This guide is perfect - but I’d love a more readable copy if you could email it to me.
