Więcej o książce
Ireland's Boyne Valley is an area of great historical importance, of fertile lands, ancient crosses, abbeys, castles and fine houses, a place where battles were fought and High Kings crowned. Its richly varied past is peopled with names such as St Patrick, Poynings, King William, Oliver Cromwell, Jonathan Swift, Lord Dunsany, Francis Ledwidge, and Admiral Francis Beaufort, deviser of the Beaufort Scale. Following the course of the River Boyne from its source at Trinity Well in Co Kildare to the estuary at Mornington, where it enters the sea, this book visits the famous sites and ancient monuments, such as Newgrange, Tara, Kells and Montasterboice, to provide a narrative on the people, events and legends of the area.
