Unfortunately due to road works at Obelisk Bridge – 1868 a Single-span iron girder road bridge over River Boyne, was getting upgraded.So we were unable to complete the full walk. Mellifont Abbey was the first Cistercian monastery in Ireland. St Malachy of Armagh founded it in 1142 with a small number of monks sent by St Bernard from Clairvaux. The abbey imported its formal style of architecture from the abbeys of the same order in Europe. It has several extraordinary architectural features, the foremost of which is the two-storey octagonal lavabo.
The visitor centre at Old Mellifont Abbey was formerly a Youth Hostel. It was the first Youth Hostel in Ireland. To celebrate this, Richard Schirrman who invented youth hostels planted this Ash tree in front of building in 1934.
