Meath
County Meath is often called the Royal County, a name rooted in its ancient role as the seat of Ireland’s high kings. The great passage tombs of Brú na Bóinne, the Hill of Tara, and its many historic sites make this a landscape where Ireland’s earliest stories remain remarkably close to the present.
