Inspired by the tradition of European pilgrimage routes, the Camino follows the River Boyne through a region shaped by centuries of settlement, belief and conflict. The Boyne Camino combines relatively gentle walking with a strong sense of place. Both the Táin Trail and the Boyne Camino form part of the Boyne Valley Trails September Festival, which runs from 1st to 23rd of September and brings together a programme of guided walks and outdoor activities across the region. The River Boyne can be explored by kayak or paddleboard, while the coast and inland waterways offer opportunities for wild swimming.
