days out in Meath

days out in Meath

Days out in Meath is a list of recommended things to do in Meath for visitors to ‘Ireland’s Heritage Capital’. The county is now a key destination along the East coast of Ireland tourist trail or Ireland’s Ancient East. 

Meath County is home to renowned day out locations like Newgrange, a site older than the pyramids and also ‘The Hill of Tara’, once the location and ancient seat of power of the High Kings of Ireland.

Ireland’s largest activity park, Emerald Park, is located near Ashbourne Co Meath. It is Ireland’s 6th most visited ‘paid’ attraction welcoming circa ½ million visitors annually. An impressive large sprawling expanse of adventure activities and mini zoo, Emerald park offers a full day out for families. DayOut.ie highly recommends!

Meath County lies North West of Dublin city and from Dublin city centre, visitors can be in the county in under 40 minutes. The Boyne Valley is an area of major interest for visitors and this along with other key historic sites, make it a must visit for history buffs or anyone interested in learning more about ancient Ireland.
