Why stay in Meath

Meath — Boyne Valley & Newgrange

Meath contains some of the oldest and most significant monuments on Earth. Newgrange passage tomb was built in 3200 BC — 500 years before the Pyramids, 1,000 years before Stonehenge. It is precisely aligned so that at winter solstice dawn, a shaft of sunlight enters the chamber through a roofbox and illuminates the floor. The Hill of Tara was the spiritual and political centre of ancient Ireland for 5,000 years. Trim Castle is the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland.

About eco hotels in Meath

How do I book Newgrange?

Via the Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre website. Tickets sell out months ahead in summer. The winter solstice lottery (for the dawn illumination) is held each autumn — very oversubscribed.

What is the Hill of Tara?

A sacred hill 12km south of Navan that served as the ceremonial seat of Ireland's High Kings for 5,000 years. Free to visit. The Lia Fáil (Stone of Destiny) still stands on the hill. Interpretive centre in the converted church.

Was Braveheart really filmed at Trim Castle?

Yes — parts of the 1995 film used Trim Castle as a location for English castles in Scotland. The castle is the largest Anglo-Norman fortification in Ireland, built 1172–1220.
