Oldbridge

The townland represents the furthest tidal reach on the River Boyne at a point called the "Curly Hole".

In March 2008 after a long appeal process, An Bord Pleanala approved permission for this development to proceed.

[citation needed] The Battle of the Boyne Interpretive Centre is approximately 1-mile (1.6 km) to the west of the main crossing point, on Oldbridge Estate.

[8] In early 2007, the newly elected First Minister of Northern Ireland, Ian Paisley, was invited to visit the battle site by the then Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.

Following the invitation, Paisley commented that "such a visit would help to demonstrate how far we have come when we can celebrate and learn from the past so the next generation more clearly understands".
