Welcome
Beaulieu is a family-owned historic house, situated on the banks of the River Boyne, 4 km outside of Drogheda. Built largely in the 1680s, with internal modifications and decoration added in the 1720s, the house represents one of the few unfortified, artisan mannerist houses in Ireland.
Its unique history and landscape of gardens, woodland and old, parish church can be explored on a guided tour. Max group size 20.
May-September, (by appointment), or during Heritage Week, in August.
