DONORE
The passage tombs of Newgrange and Knowth are reason enough to visit
Meath. The Brú na Bóinne Centre interprets the archaeological heritage
of the Boyne Valley and is one of Ireland’s most popular attractions.
Access to Newgrange and Knowth is via the centre, where there is an
exhibition, tourist office, gift shop and restaurant. This site is extremely
busy and visitors are advised to arrive early. Tel: (041) 988 0300. Also,
meet the farm animals at Newgrange Open Farm. Tel: (041) 982 4119.
DULEEK
Situated in the quiet valley of the Nanny River is the town of Duleek.
In the 5th century, St. Patrick founded a church here; however, there are
no remains of this building today. The town was later raided frequently by
the Norsemen based in Drogheda, but the town’s small community
managed to survive and at times flourished. A member of the O’Kelly
family founded an abbey here around the 12th century dedicated to the
Virgin Mary and in 1182 Hugh de Lacy, to whom the district fell, founded
St. Mary’s Augustinian Priory. Today, many interesting ruins remain.
DUNBOYNE
Dunboyne is home to Hamwood House, a Palladian Georgian house
that was built in 1768. The gardens feature three parts: the woodland,
the Palladian rose garden and the walled garden. Tel: (01) 825 5210.
In nearby Kilcock, you will find the award-winning Larchill Arcadian
Gardens, which consist of an 18th century farm and landscaped
parkland, 10 Gothic follies and a walled garden. Tel: (01) 628 7354.
DUNSHAUGHLIN
Dunshaughlin, located on the N3 just south-east of Navan, takes its
name from St. Seachnall, a disciple of St. Patrick who founded a
church here in the 5th century. In the graveyard of the Protestant
Church is a 10th or 11th century carving of the Crucifixion in a style
similar to that found on High Crosses.

ENFIELD
Built in 1735, Enfield is located on the N4, beside the Royal Canal.
Much conservation and restoration work has been carried out on the
Crannmor Bed & Breakfast
Royal Canal, resulting in a beautiful area for visitors to enjoy.
