How to get to Brú na Bóinne from Dublin

The visitor centre is in Donore, south of the Boyne, near Drogheda, and it is the only way in to Newgrange and Knowth: you cannot drive up to the mounds. By car, it takes a little over an hour from Dublin along the M1, and there is public parking next to the centre. Without a car, the practical option is a day tour: Mary Gibbons's includes entry to the Newgrange chamber. For the scheduled bus, check the Transport for Ireland journey planner, which links to the official listing itself.
