While we love a good trip across the seas, the reality is that we live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world so we decided to take a moment and appreciate some of the fantastic spots on this fair isle.
From Donegal to Dublin, we are taking an all-Ireland cyber roadtrip to find out what makes each county unique and highlight a few hidden gems that only the locals might know about.
This week, we’re off to Meath!
Where to start with Meath? Our ideal weekend in the midlands would start with a visit to Newgrange, a flutter on the horses at Fairyhouse and a major gig at Slane Castle.
But don’t listen to us… here’s what the locals had to say!
@Herdotie In Trim, there is a beautiful castle and a bridge over water, really beautiful. go there every weekend with my boyfriend
