Ancient, majestic and rich in unspoiled scenic pastureland, Meath is the perfect place to escape the stresses and strains of modern life. 

 

Situated in Ireland’s  Midlands and known as the Royal County, Meath was once the seat of the High Kings of Ireland, and is one of Ireland’s most historic counties with an overwhelming array of mind-blowing sites. These include the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Newgrange and the Hill of Tara, which was the traditional seat of the High Kings. 

 

If you can bear to drag yourself away from the abundance of spectacular sites, you’ll find Meath to be a chilled-out, laid-back county with charming gardens, pastoral countryside, and a whole host of leisure activities from angling to golf.
