Salmon and trout may be stuck within the river, that's surrounded through the Boyne Valley. It is crossed simply west of Drogheda through the Boyne River Bridge, which incorporates the M1 toll road, and by way of the Boyne Viaduct, which consists of the Dublin-Belfast railway line to the east. The catchment vicinity of the River Boyne is two,695 km2.

The long term common drift charge of the River Boyne is 38.8 cubic metres according to 2d. Despite its brief direction, the Boyne has historic, archaeological and mythical connotations. The Battle of the Boyne, a chief war in Irish records, happened alongside the Boyne close to Drogheda in 1690 in the course of the Williamite struggle in Ireland. It passes via the ancient town of Trim, Trim Castle, the Hill of Tara, Navan, the Hill of Slane, Bru na Boinne, Mellifont Abbey, and the medieval town of Drogheda. In the Boyne Valley also can be located different historical and archaeological monuments, including Loughcrew, Kells, Celtic crosses, and castles.
