Meander through Meath
When it comes to ancient history and spectacular archaeological sites, there is no better place than County Meath. Located just a short bus ride from Dublin and on the main Dublin-Belfast train line, Meath rewards those who opt for a longer stay with amazing sites such as the Neolithic passage tombs of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, the Hill of Tara, Trim Castle and the Loughcrew Cairns.
But there’s more to the Meath story than history. There’s the pleasure of gentle paddling trails on the mystical River Boyne, leisurely cycles along lush country lanes and the opportunity to soak up the folklore, mythology and legend that lingers in the air here. Prepare to be captivated.
