Athboy Hotels and Accommodation

Athboy is steeped in history, its beginnings being a 16th century Druid settlement, surrounding a river crossing known as the Yellow Ford. More recently the locally influential Darnley family owned the town from 1770 until 1909. The grand Old Darnley Lodge was the original estate office and can still be admired today. Other attractions are the remains of Athboy Castle, originally built by the Normans in 1180 and the Metal Footbridge crossing the Yellow River, offering a scenic vista of the river, town and surrounding countryside. There are plenty of budget hotels available in this area to enjoy this scenic town.
