The Location

Oakley Park Estate is located close to the charming town of Kells, nestled within the historic County of Meath, Ireland. Its strategic positioning near the M3 motorway grants convenient access to both Dublin City and Dublin Airport. Meath, one of the largest Irish counties in terms of area and the ninth most populous, was historically part of the Kingdom of Mide and is now an integral part of the Leinster province.

Notably, just 10 kilometers (about 6 miles) from Navan, you'll find Tara Hill, which once served as the seat of the King of Ireland during ancient times. Furthermore, Meath boasts an extraordinary historical complex known as Bruna Boinne, featuring ancient burial sites such as Newgrange, Knowth, and Dowth, dating back over 5,000 years. These remarkable sites have received the prestigious designation of being a World Heritage Site.

Kells is renowned for its association with Kells Abbey and the world-famous Book of Kells manuscript. Visitors from all corners of the globe are drawn to this cultural treasure, which can be viewed at Trinity College Dublin. The Kells monastery, established around 804 A.D., provided refuge for monks from St. Colmcille's monastery in Iona during the tumultuous Viking invasions.

We invite you to explore the rich historical and cultural heritage of this remarkable region during your visit to Oakley Park.
