About Longwood Harbour & Boyne Aqueduct
Longwood Harbour, also called Ribbontail Harbour, is a small canal basin in the Meath countryside, about 2 km by road from Longwood village. The Ribbontail Paddlers canoe club uses a restored lock-keeper's cottage here as its clubhouse, and there is public parking. A short walk west brings you to one of the great sights of the canal: the Boyne Aqueduct, built around 1795 according to Waterways Ireland, carries the Royal Canal over the River Boyne on three arches, right beside the railway's Boyne Viaduct, both designed by the canal engineer Richard Evans. Take time to look at the cut limestone and think of the labour it took before machines. Longwood has small shops, takeaways and pubs, and Trim and its castle are about ten minutes away by car.
