Located in the East of Ireland, County Meath (An Mhí in Gaelic) is an area of wilderness and cultural traditions that are still intact. Known as the “Royal County”, Meath has a population of 162,831 and covers an area of 2,342km² and welcomes many visitors every day in search of a holiday. Rich in an exceptional historical heritage, County Meath was once the seat of the great kings of Ireland. To this day, many traces of their existence still remain, and there are many castles and fortresses that you will come across on your way!
Let’s add the presence of numerous archaeological remains, including the fabulous site of Newgrange, a large circular mound dating back to 3,200 B.C., as well as the Hill of Tara, a political and spiritual high place in Celtic Ireland where the Kings of Ireland were based.
