In the east of Ireland on the Irish Sea, Meath is known for its fertile farms and rich history. Settled since at least the Bronze Age, Meath is dotted with legends and legendary sites. Meath was the traditional burial site of the Kings of Tara. Later, it was home to the Kings of Meath. In the early 5th century Meath also became the home of Irish Christianity and the site of some of the most famous early monasteries --including Kells-- and the home of some of Ireland’s famous early saints. - notes by Sarah Nagle
