Slane

Just half an hour outside of Dublin and set in the midst of a 1,500 acre estate in the Boyne Valley is the beautiful Slane Castle. The castle has been the home of the Conyngham family since the 18th Century, with the major castle reconstruction work taking place in 1785 carried out by James Gandon and James Wyatt.

Thought to have been constructed over 5,000 years ago, the Stone Age monument at Newgrange is one of Ireland’s great historic attractions. Located in the Boyne Valley, County Meath, this large Neolithic mound is older than both Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza.
