Hiking

From here you can enjoy views across the River Boyne of the once mighty Dunmoe Castle. The castle is four storeys and dates back to the 15th-century when it was home to the D'Arcy family.

The castle is an Anglo-Norman donjon (keep). It was originally a rectangle (15 × 10 m, 16 × 11 yds) with a tower at each corner. Two of these towers have crumbled, as has the entire back part of the castle.

The ground floor is buried but was vaulted and had a loft and arrowslits on the south wall. The newel stairs in the southwest tower have a gun loop. A nearby chapel contains the tombs of the D'Arcys.
