Camino Talks with Frank Flanagan from the Boyne Valley Camino - Celtic Camino | Follow the Camino
Description
We interviewed Frank Flanagan, one of the founders of the Boyne Valley Camino in Ireland. This 25-kilometre walk from Drogheda forms part of the Celtic Camino series that runs across the UK and Ireland.
Since 2014, Drogheda has hosted a walking festival which brings a lot of visitors to the town. They can appreciate how lovely it is there, the historical sites, the forest, and the Greenway. When the Boyne Valley Camino founders found out about the work that the Camino Society of Ireland was doing to designate new pilgrim routes in Ireland, they spotted that as an opportunity.
Frank tells us how the Boyne Valley Camino got started, and about the walk now that it is established. By walking a certified Celtic Camino route and then the Camino Inglés from A Coruna, people can accomplish the 100km necessary to obtain their Compostela certificate at the pilgrim's office in Santiago.
