On the right bank lies Millmount, presumably an old Bronze Age burial mound, which successively served as a watchtower, feudal motte and finally as a fortress. From the top you have a panoramic view of the city.
In the Millmount Museum & Tower, an interesting small museum about local history, you will discover a unique collection of company flags and memorabilia from the American War of Independence.

Hiking
Millmount Fort in Drogheda was a great surprise. The short climb to the top rewards you with sweeping views over the River Boyne and the town... perfect for a quick breather and some photos. The fort itself is packed with history, from Norman times to the Irish Civil War, and the small museum inside offers a good mix of local artifacts. If you're in Drogheda and enjoy combining a bit of walking with history and scenery, Millmount is well worth the visit.
