The '''River Boyne ''' ('''{{lang-ga|Abhainn na Bóinne}}''') is a river in [[Leinster]], [[Ireland]], the course of which is about 112 [[kilometres]] (70 [[mile]]s) long. It rises at Trinity Well, Newbury Hall, near [[Carbury]], [[County Kildare]], and flows towards the Northeast through [[County Meath]] to reach the [[Irish Sea]] outside [[Drogheda]]. [[Salmon]] and [[trout]] can be caught in the river, which is surrounded by the [[Boyne Valley]]. It is crossed just west of Drogheda by the [[Boyne River Bridge]] that carries the [[N1 road|M1]] [[motorway]] and by the [[Boyne Viaduct]] that carries the [[Dublin]]-[[Belfast]] railway line to the east.

Despite its short course, the Boyne has historical, archaeological and mythical connotations. It passes near the ancient city of [[Trim, County Meath|Trim]], [[Trim Castle]], the [[Hill of Tara]] (the ancient capital of the High King of Ireland), [[Navan]], the Hill of [[Slane]], [[Newgrange|Brú na Bóinne]] (an archaeological site), [[Mellifont Abbey]], and the medieval city of Drogheda. In the Boyne Valley can also be found other historical and archaeological monuments, like Loughcrew, [[Kells]], Celtic crosses, castles, and more. The [[Battle of the Boyne]], a major battle in [[History of Ireland|Irish history]], took place along the Boyne near [[Drogheda]] in 1690 during the [[Williamite war in Ireland]].

This river has been known since ancient times. The Greek geographer [[Ptolemy]] drew a map of Ireland in the 2nd century which included the Boyne, which he called ''Bubinda'', and somewhat later [[Giraldus Cambrensis]] called it ''Boandus''. In [[Irish mythology]] it is said that the river was created by the [[goddess]] [[Boann]] ('queen' or 'goddess'), according to F. Dinneen, lexicographer of the Irish Gaelic language, and Boyne is an anglicised form of the name. In other legends, it was in this river where [[Fionn mac Cumhail]] captured [[Fiontán]], the [[Salmon]] of Knowledge.
 
De Griekse Greek geograaf [[Ptoleus]] noemde de rivier in de [[2e eeuw]] ''Bubinda'', en [[Giraldus Cambrensis]] verwees er naar als ''Boandus''. In de [Iers-Keltische mythologie]] is de [[godin]] [[Boann]] de patroon of personificatie van de rivier. Het verengelste Boyne is afgeleid van haar naam.
The [[Boyne_Navigation|Boyne Navigation]] is a series of canals running roughly parallel to the main river from near Oldbridge to Navan. Owned by [[An Taisce]] and currently derelict, the [[Inland Waterways Association of Ireland]] are restoring the navigation to navigable status.
Volgens de sage van [[Fionn mac Cumhail]] is het in deze rivier dat hij de [[zalm]] [[Fiontán]] ving.
 
There are a number of railway bridges and viaducts crossing the Boyne which are well known.
 
==Viking Ship==
In [[2006]], the remains of a viking ship were found in the river bed in Drogheda during dredging operations. The vessel is to be excavated as it poses a hazard to navigation.<ref>http://www.ncte.ie/viking/news.htm#boyne</ref>
