What to Do & Area Attractions
Those who wish to find creepy yet interesting attractions, Drogheda’s St. Peter's Church (Roman Catholic) is well known for being the resting place of the preserved severed head of St. Oliver Plunkett. St Laurence's Gate, located at the corner of Laurence St. and Palace St., is another site of historical value as it houses a part of the town’s wall from the medieval ages. Another medieval site worth visiting is Millmount Museum, which now houses exhibitions from the area’s history and industry. It is highly advised that when visiting Drogheda attractions like these can be well enjoyed when staying in accommodations that are within the city itself such as the 3-star Aaron Vale B&B.
