County Meath, County in northeastern Leinster, Ireland.
The fertile plains of County Meath stretch across 2,342 square kilometers, featuring rivers, gentle hills, and glacial drift covered with crops and pasture lands.
The region served as the seat of Ireland's High Kings at the Hill of Tara, where ancient ceremonial and burial grounds contain numerous archaeological monuments.
The Gaeltacht areas of Ráth Chairn and Baile Ghib maintain Irish language traditions through dedicated schools and community activities throughout the county.
Navan, the central county town, connects to Dublin Airport through regular bus services and provides access to major historical sites in the region.
The Laytown horse races, established in 1868, take place directly on the beach strand, making them the only official beach races in European horse racing.
