8 The Ramparts If you fancy a nice river walk there is the old towpath of the Boyne Canal which runs for almost eight kilometers to the bridge over the Boyne at Stackallen. On the Ramparts Walk, you will see the single remaining eye of Babe’s Bridge, the only bridge over the Boyne which survived the great flood of 1330.
When you exit the park gates, cross the road carefully at the designated crossing point and cross back over the river. Turn right at the next junction and proceed to the next bridge you can see. Ruxton’s Bridge To continue on your current walk of the town, take the humpbacked bridge over the canal, called Ruxton’s Bridge. It is named after Mr.William Ruxton, a shareholder in the Boyne Navigation which connects Navan and Drogheda. Construction of the canal was begun by the Commissioners of Inland Navigation in 1759 and completed by 1800. Most of the Navigation is on the south bank of the Boyne. If you continue along this path by the canal you will enter one of the many pocket parks scattered throughout the town. Take a break and enjoy the view and peacefulness of the river Boyne. To the left you will see the railway viaduct which crosses the river, and the road you see on the far side of the viaduct is the main road which leads southwards to Dublin.
