Completely County Meath

The Hill of Tara has huge historical, spiritual and mythical significance. Although its history spans four millennia, all that remains of the royal fortress (apart from heart-stopping views) are its mighty earthworks and the Lia Fáil or ‘Stone of Destiny’. The stone is said to be magical, and will apparently roar if the rightful king of Ireland puts his feet on it. Well, it’s worth a try!

Don't go home without

… putting some money on the horses. There are some fantastic racecourses in County Meath, including Bellewstown (www.bellewstownraces.ie) and Fairyhouse (www.fairyhouse racecourse.ie), the home of the Irish Grand National on Easter Monday. At the annual Laytown meeting, the horses actually race along the beach (+353 (0)41 984 2111).
